An easy win for the Pontiac followed by the Dodge.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

They are all big beautiful American full-size automobiles. My family had a big 1965 Dodge Custom 880 station wagon.

I dislike the full-size Pontiac styling after '64, love the Pontiac '57- '64.

Like the Mercury, like the square styling, just a little plain for my taste.

Dodge Monaco, only a two door hardtop in '65.  Yes, I love it and would have bought one in '65, but I was not in country in '65 and by '66 I was already into mid-size/intermediate size cars.

Oh my! When I initially viewed the three choices, I found myself thinking: Wow, the fleet's in!! Three big yachts!

I'll take the Poncho please. Second would be the Merc, then Dodge.

Pontiac, Dodge, Mercury. The dashboards on the 65 Pontiacs are absolutely beautiful.

Unfortunately no Mopar for me today.  Went with the Pontiac, Mercury, then the Dodge.  Do not like skirts on vehicles, so that deterred me on the Dodge.

When these cars were new I'm sure I would have said Pontiac. My 2026 eyes like the clean styling of the Mercury.

Grand Prix, Mercury then Dodge. Almost a tie for the last two.

Geno, I agree with your choices although I  think you've maybe got them in the wrong order.
