I absolutely love both cars. Similar roofline but the similarities end there in a pile of brake-dust! One is a large, comfy muscle machine while the other uses ample amounts of finesse to accomplish much the same feats.

On this day - Grand Prix for me.

Grand Prix 👍.  Although I do really like the windshield on back of the Gran Turismo. ✌️

When I saw today's cars, I think it might be the fastest I ever decided "which one?".  PONTIAC!  End of story, not even a contest.

Pontiac. The 1963 GP is perhaps my favorite 1960s American car. It's so clean, powerful (under the hood and in its looks), and elegant.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Studebaker Gran Turismo all the way for me. An iconic finish to a great line.

Despite being a longtime Pontiac GP fan, for this round I have to go with the Studebaker GT.

Pontiac GP gets my vote but the Hawk GT was, and is, a wonderful design that still looks good today.

Pontiac was designing that GP so beautiful in the early 60’s!

GP but only by a whisker as both are Drop Dead Gorgeous.
