Dodge. I like its size, the trapezoid roofline, and the dumbbell grille.
Oh, and the wheels and tires too.

My cousin had the 1964 equivalent Plymouth. One fun car to drive!! Going with the Dodge here today!

Dodge for me also. I like the size and style on this one.

Oldsmobile for the easy win for me today. I always liked the classy, more refined styling of the '64. The Dodge grille and rear design never grabbed me at all and IMHO it looks cheaper compared to the Olds.

To my eye there's a slightly "crude" look to some of the body panels on the Dodge which puts me off a little, but I do like the overall shape and the front end, and on balance it looks better than the Olds with those exaggerated ridges on the wings/fenders which I just had to get rid of. Softened the back end just a little while I was at it - more like the less sharp-edged look of the F85 Cutlass.

@graeme-ogg Up close those chrome ridges really accentuate its styling IMHO Graeme.

Olds all the way for me. Never liked the trapezoid roof line.

'64 Olds please. '65 up would be the Dodge Monaco. The '64 Dodge was far better than the '61-'63 but still no competition for the Olds '61-'64.

This is probably the biggest "no-brainer" of any of the "Which Ones?" John has given us.
OLDSMOBILE without question!
The Dodge was recovering from the horrific odd styling of the '62, while the OLDSMOBILE was continuing its smooth and rich look of their '62 model year.
The Dodge looks cheap and pieced together with lines and parts that just don't flow well at all.

The full-size Olds outclasses this mid-sized Dodge. The Custom 880 might have been more competitive:

Barry, I considered the 880, but passed because many online pics of the 880 are entered with the incorrect model year. I'm much too old to give a care to lean how to tell the year of one big ugly Dodge from another big ugly Dodge...so I passed.The full-size Olds outclasses this mid-sized Dodge.

@brush Bruce; strangely enough I LOVE the '64 Plymouth Fury HT, which shares the same basic body as the Dodge; I just can't warm up to the Dodge grille and tail end at all. Same goes for the '65 and '66 edition of these two.
