The Oldsmobile is nice but the Pontiac is a knockout.

I really love both, but the OLDSMOBILE gets my vote because it's an OLDSMOBILE.  Smile

Couldn't push the button fast enough for Pontiac. At the top of their game and of their field. What Oldsmobile was in the 50s was what Pontiac became in the 60s, and more.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Pontiac for me. '65 was the beginning of Oldsmobile's "fat" styling phase.

Pontiac's sleek new styling made the Olds look  dated.

I with everyone else here.  The Pontiac all the way.  Even though the Olds does look good.

The Pontiac looks better, but  just don't care for full-size GMC styling a after 1964. Love GMC styling '61 to '64. Therefore the vote of no interest.

The Bonneville gets my vote, but I love the Oldsmobile too.
