Best looking Plymouth in 8 years, I like it.

I liked the '60 to '64 Chevy but not the '65 up, just don't care for the styling of any GMC full-size car after '64.

I know I will be in the minority today, Plymouth please.

Chevy, I really like the Plymouth, but the Chevy with those voluptuous curves have my vote. The 59, 61, and 65 are the three Chevys that I love the most !

@100ford2003 Whenever I’m fortunate to look upon a 1965 Chevrolet my immediate thought is that I’m looking at a magnificent, curvaceous, and totally beautifully proportioned work of automotive art. I don’t see one bad line or contour in the body design, the interior is comfortable and right sized with everything you need at hand. I truly believe that it is a contemporary classic in all sense of the word and will go down in motoring history as such. Aside from ascetics, it had a huge choice of virtually every powertrain choice anyone could want from a proven, economical 6, to bullet proof small block V-8’s, all the way up to big block 409’s and 396’s. Yes, I’m a fan and would love to be able to own one. I owned a ‘66 Caprice a lifetime ago and loved everything about it! Oh BTW, when I see a ‘65 Plymouth…….

I really like the Plymouth but the 65 Chevy is a high water mark for me. If it was the previous or  following year, the Plymouth would be my pick. Chevy.

They are both beautiful 1960's automobiles and in an especially big 1965 model year for American cars. The big Chevy is a classic and the full-size Plymouth was getting back to it's true full size dimensions since the '62 and '63 detour.

I like both, and the Ford too, but that Chevy looks best. IMO the best postwar year for the big three volume brands.

@100ford2003 Steve, I am with you on the Chevy.  Sorry Mopar, but this pairing I had to go with the Chevy.

For me personally,  I voted tie. Dad had a white '65 Plymouth Sport Fury, and my Uncle Ron had a red '65 Impala SS. I was enamored by both.🤑💯

One of my most favorite Plymouth design.  Guy down the street had a deep red with black vinyl roof and same wheels as the one in the picture.  It was great and just floated down the street. The Chevy is nice looking but the Plymouth is soooo much nicer

 The 65 Impala is a favorite of mine along with the 59 through 70 years.  My favorite Fury is the 64.
