While I like the lines of the Ford very much, my driving experiences with age Chevrolet were pleasant (my father-in-law's car). I choose the 1965 Chevrolet.

I love both of these cars very much but prefer the Ford styling by a hair over the Chevy for 65, 66, 67 & 68. The opposite for 60 thru 64 though....tie in 63.

I've been fearing the day this would come. I love them both, but Chevy despite my exl500@hotmail.com address.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Tough choice but a good year for Ford styling.

For me, it's not even a contest. The CHEVY by a landside. Was never a fan of the squared fenders of the Ford's for '65 and '66. CHEVY for my eyes just nailed it for '65.
