My Dad had a brand-new '63 LeSabre so my sentiment lies with the Buick!

The good looks of the Wildcat is just enough for most folks to pick it. But the 300J is just unique and unusual enough that I'd love to have it. Chrysler for me today.

While not as clean a design as the 62, I still prefer the Chrysler over the Buick. Tough decision though.

Not very often do I choose the Buick but, I don't care for the Chrysler so it is Buick today as there is no "toothy grill" or side trim check mark that I dislike.

Chrysler for me. I like its bold styling.

I owned a '63 Chrysler and not only did I like the styling and the dash, it was to this day, one of the smoothest and comfortable cars I've driven. 

The Buick in comparison to me, looks overdone.  It's almost like GM was trying a little to hard, but wasn't sure how to do it.  And the Buick sitting next to the Chrysler appears so much bigger. 

So CHRYSLER wins!

I like the big Buick but also the smaller Chrysler 300. So I vote tie

I love the design and trim level of this year Buick, while the '63-64 Chrysler design did nothing for me at all.

For 1963 the Chrysler 300 was bigger than the Buick Wildcat.

I like them both. A family friend drove a new 1964 Chrysler and a similar era 1963 - 1964 Buick was nearby undergoing a restoration.
