Don't care for either ones styling. I would be all over the T-bird if it was a roadster like Bob's, but the hard tops proportions don't look right, top too high. I dislike Buicks to start with especially the Revs styling.

Tie, no interest in either of them. That's it a tie for no interest. '63 there are quite a few cars I would purchase with out even considering these two. Beautiful cars, for someone else.

I am prejudiced to the 63 T-Birds but I must admit the Buick also appeals to me. After much thought I have to vote tie.

Even though the T-Bird is not a 2 seater, the 61-63 were just a great design.  So my vote is the T-Bird.

It is unusual to see so many ties here. I do have to agree also as both cars have merit although not on my favourites list. Another tie, John.

Both beautiful but the Riviera cannot be denied.

Were the T-Bird a Sport Roadster or, at least, the color of Bob's car, I'd choose it. In this case, I choose the Riv.

I like the T-bird, have fond memories of my Uncle Terry having a black roadster. However, my younger brother convinced me the  Buick Riviera was a beautifully designed car. So that's my choice.

T-Bird.  On my 16th birthday, early 1967, Dad gave me the family 1963 T-Bird hardtop that I had helped pick out new.  Loaded with options, Heritage Burgundy w/pearl beige interior.  That car was just so beautiful and my heart still beats faster every time I see one.

The '63 Riviera was a bases-loaded home run styling hit! As nice as the T-Bird is, it's very hard for any car to beat the '63 Riv in a comparison.

(The above is IMHO, of course.)

Each is a stunningly gorgeous automobile and I would be proud and delighted to drive either one..... back then or right now ! I happily have diecast models representing each era and design generation of these cars.

I absolutely love both so I voted tie. As an aside, i’ve no interest in the ‘61-62 Birds. It’s the ‘63 with its beautifully sculpted sides that “float my boat”.
