Chrysler for its chiseled good looks.

John!! Oh man.......JOHN!! PAISANO, you're killing me here!
1964. Bought my first new car. A Pontiac GTO. Muscle car, compact, quick. So why am I looking at '64 full length 'Daddy cars'??
I surprised myself though. That's what you specialize in Mr. Bono!!
I like the uniqueness and sculptured body lines of the Chrysler 300. But as I study the potential allure of the Olds, I see past a slab-sided body to see a big car that isn't ashamed to claim an affordable opulence of European cars half its size. Color combo-wise it's magnificent. As a convertible it's handsome. I voted Olds!!

I have to agree on the Chrysler. The 63 and 64 models were standouts. When you saw one, you knew right away that it was a Chrysler.

'64 Olds are good. Just don't care for that generation of Chrysler.

Olds more so than the Chrysler. 😎👍

Olds gets the easy win today. The styling of the '63-'64 Chrysler never appealed to me at all; perhaps because I loved the '62 styling so much. I really like the look of the entire '64 Oldsmobile lineup; the example offered today has a mix of elegance and sportiness that is enhanced by its color combo.

Close but just cannot resist that Chrysler 300.

Always thought those Oldsmobiles looked kind of "tinny" compared with precious years. It seems to think it's a Mercury.
That generation of Chryslers were good looking from some angles (especially the front), a bit too angular in other ways for my taste, but I'd give it my vote.
I just wondered in passing how it would have looked if they had turned the grille "upside down" as in 1960.
And I bet some of you still have a secret, perverse longing for those old Chrysler fins
(Sorry about that!)

@graeme-ogg The upside down grille is OK, but the fins are not.

Me too. Like the grille, the fins are too wonky. Your skills, though, are wicked cool!

@perrone1 You think Graeme's computer imaging skills are wicked cool Tony......you should see him pick off Christmas carolers from his front porch rocker!

@jack-dodds Right; I know, I know. That's why he's such an idol. One day, God willing, and I pray it may get here, I hope to grow up just like him. He's preeminent.
