...well, I used to own a '66 Parklane convertible, white/black top & interior, so I have to go with the '65 Merc. It looks familiar. 😉

I'm going for the Mercury, to my eyes it has the most class and styling distinction - and I never really cared for the Dodge.

@kevins Well.... you got me. My initial reaction to your comment was, "Geez, they're not that similar...." However, after a 2nd, and 3rd look, well..... they are very similar. 😮 😮 😮

George, 18.5% is not exactly overall consensus.Interesting. I think this is one of the few times with John's "Which Ones?" that the overall consensus is that neither cars is overwhelming appealing. And of course I concur. But kudo's to John, for the excellent comparison!
Gents, thanks for your responses...including the 18.5 % that were asleep at the wheel.

Let me put it a different way John. That 18.5% that voted "no interest" in either car is more than the majority of your "Which Ones?" that get a "no interest" vote. And it's a dead heat between those that like either with each car getting 37% of the vote. As I usually do, I shared this "Which One?" with my wife. Her response was, "Whewww", showing displeasure in both. I at least gave my vote to the Dodge for its kinder looking grill.

Okay. I guess the glass is both half-full and half-empty.
