The gorgeous Buick styling wins easily this year.  IMHO T-Bird styling started a downhill slide after '63.

For me, this may be the toughest yet. I truly love both designs. I should vote a tie, but I'm leaning toward the T-Bird and its killer interior this afternoon.

Both Beautiful cars. I'm with Jack, in that after the Baby Birds and, to a lesser degree, the Square Birds, the subsequent designs weren't as exciting. 

The '63 and '64 Riviera, on the other hand, was an instant & dynamic icon.

But having said that, I voted T-Bird!! The Riv looks like it has been around a while and possibly not wearing its finest color. The Bullet-Bird, however, looks like a 100 point restoration finished this morning! And perfect color combination.

Going Riviera today.  That Tbird is almost too nice.

That Riviera is iconic. I have to go with it.

Never cared for the Riv or even Buick for that matter. Exceptions being the '64 - '65 Skylark & '60 any full-size.

Love the baby Birds, liked the Square Birds a lot, didn't care for the imitation rocket '61 - '63, liked the '64 - '66, disliked T - birds after that, with the exception of the '87 - '88 Turbo Coupe.

Thunderbird please, would prefer the convertible model though.

While I really like the Thunderbird, I love the Riviera. Too beautiful not to win.

My thoughts exactly John so I voted the T-Bird also. But only by a nose hair, and that did sting a little.

It was close.  If it was a different car to go up against the Buick, I would have picked the Buick but for these two I chose the T-Bird.
