For me, this one is yet another toughie! I love the GP. But somehow, it looks a little too bloated to my eye. I don't think the skirts help there. I love the Mercury, but it doesn't really distinguish itself in this group. The Monaco has always been a favorite. In this case, I vote for the Dodge for its killer interior and lithe-looking lines. The GP and Merc are close behind. 
This comparo is another fine example of 1965 being a watershed year in domestic automobile design.

I usually go for the Mopar but the Dodge resembles the shape of Chrysler or Plymouth either I would vote positive.

One of my Aunts bought me a model of the Pontiac. It was my first and I made such a mess of it. I blamed it on the car after I got my fingers to stop sticking together. I lost so many brain cells from the glue in the hot attic. Never liked the car after that 

The Mercury although square has always been a favorite of mine so it got todays vote.
