I like both and have trouble deciding if one is best.

Both are great looking cars but I prefer the Ford styling.

Like both, but the FORD seems a little cleaner in styling.

Ford is nice, Mercury is nicer (to my eye)!

Both have the clean uncluttered look of the early 60s but the rear view of the '63 Ford captures the "Jet-Age".

I prefer the Ford styling in all but 3 years '55, '56 prefer the Mercury styling and '61 they were a tie for me.

Ford for me. The 63 has always been a favorite of mine.

Ford also. It raises the question of what the Mercury is for. Both are nice though.

I have to agree with John on this one.  Both are beauties.
