Poll; Which '65? (1/1/2024)

Both long, sleek and elegant. But the Pontiac Grand Prix - for me!

Grand Prix for sure! 

Grand Prix styling makes the Olds look a bit sedate in comparison.

Pontiac by a long shot!

Pontiac for me. This was the beginning of a styling period by Oldsmobile that I did not care for.

I did like the Cutlass/442 of the era you mention but not so much the full size Olds.

@jack-dodds I like those also. Cutlass styling changed in '66 to more closely resemble the full-size Olds styling theme established in '65. I don't like the '66 Cutlass either.

@moe-parr I agree.....I still like the decked out '66 442 but otherwise...no.

My goodness, it is rare to see such consensus at this point in a selection process. I too prefer the Pontiac.

Sorry to be the one to ruin the consensus, but I vote for the OLDSMOBILE!  It oozes with subtle style and elegance, while the Pontiac looks like forced "you gotta look at me car" to my eyes.  

I didn't even look at the photos before I voted Pontiac. 1965 is up there with the best Pontiacs (1963 GP, please), which means the best 1960s cars.

Also, Happy New Year!

Pontiac for me too.

Liked the GM full-size cars '61 to '64 after that I don't care for GM styling, go to mid-size in '64 to '70.  I vote tie because I don't like either one.
