Very nearly a tie; I love both of these cars.  Ford gets the nod by a nose.

I’ll go with the Plymouth today. Very close to a tie though.

Ford is nice but the Plymouth styling is sensational. Plymouth.

Ford.  The squared off design of the 65 is just so nice.

Hard to choose for this pairing. I like both but the nod goes to Ford.

Like the Ford, love the Plymouth after the ridiculous styling of '60 - '63.

Plymouth today please.

I've never been a fan of the "square look" styling and both of these '65s had it, BUT Plymouth did it better and it gets my vote today.  Plus the DASH in the Plymouth is much more pleasing to stare at for many miles of driving.  I'll also add that my Dad bought a new '65 Ford and his sister bought a '65 Plymouth...I was 14 years old and the Plymouth was my favorite of the two.

I would love to see these two done by quality 1/43 scale companies like Goldvarg and/or Matrix; both in 2drht. and Convertible.

Plymouth for me too. Mom & Pops had a white '65 2 door hardtop when I was a kid. I loved that car. A friend of my dad's totaled it.😟

I voted for a tie. As a kid, I built models of both of them.  Throw in an Impala, and it would be a three way tie.

The Plymouth is nice, but just doesn’t compare to the Ford for me.
