'63 Dodge or Ford?

No contest, Ford please. One of my favorite Fords, while the Dodge is from Dodge's ugly period ['61 - '63] at least form my point of view.

I have diecast replicas of both cars, yet I think the downsizing of the Dodge in 1962-1963 was an error. While the beautiful Ford stayed full size, Chrysler realized their mistake and returned to true full-size status after a time.

Dodge. I am not really a fan of either. I like the downsized Dodge but that grill is awful. The Ford is okay.

Ohhhhhh, that beautiful Galaxie. Just as Brush stated.😊

Dodge. It's smaller.

I don’t like the Dodge grill treatment but I do appreciate the more compact size.

My brother had a 62 with a 318ci. Fun to drive. Loved the push button shifter on the dash.

The Ford is my choice too !! And I might add it’s great to be in the company of gentlemen that share my exquisite taste in automobiles. 🤣

Ford Galaxie 500XL with its gorgeous roof style gets the easy nod this time.

My pick is the Ford, but I love the Dodge too.
Gents, thanks for your replies.
