The sharp edged Mercury for me.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I will have to go with the Oldsmobile this time around. The Merc is just to rigid.

Back in the day, neither were a favorite with me. It was the emerging era of the Muscle Car. These bigger machines were known as "Daddy's Cars:. Now, however, they both look really nice and offer soft rides and comfort instead of neck snapping performance. To my eyes, the Olds looks a touch nicer - hence my vote. (Good choices John!)

Olds, just enough curves to win out. 😎👍

The Olds looks sporty and graceful. The Mercury too formal with too many straight lines.

I much prefer the crisp design of the Mercury.

Don't care for any GM full-size after '64, Mercury today, I like it.

The OLDSMOBILE all day, any day! The boxy squared Mercury, NO!

That Mercury nose grabs me. Both of these are a little large for my driving pleasure.

The softer lines of the Olds gets my vote but I like both.

The crisp Mercury has always been a '60s favourite for me, but the Oldsmobile looks care-free.
