Ford roofline and overall styling wins this time...but by the very slimmest of margins.  The opposite for 62 and 64.

I like both but the Chevrolet just looks trimmer and to me a little more appealing.

Very tough, but Chevy wins. It seems more resolved to me.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I vote for the FORD for one reason and it's the same reason I've always liked the '63 FORD better.  The front fender ride height on the Chevy has always been too high.  Every real car and on FM's models as well.  That alone ruins the Chevy for me.

FORD gets my vote!

The Chevy for me!  The cool kids in my area growing up had them more than Fords.
