Poll: Which '65? (6/12/2024)

Another incredible 'very-much-alike-looking' choice John!

For me, it comes down to liking the roofline, especially at the rear & side, the wheel covers, color and lack of fender skirts - so my choice today is Ford.

Very tough decision once again. Today I vote Plymouth as the style on the 65 and 66 Plymouths always appealed to me as being slightly softer than the sharp edged Ford. Don't get me wrong, I think the Ford is wonderful and the difference between the two is very slight.

I'm surprised how similar these two look. I lean slightly to the Ford.

I think it is the skirts that turned me against the Plymouth, so today the vote is Ford.

I love both designs, but I've always thought the Ford looked bigger, in a good way, than the Plymouth. I like the skirts on the Plymouth. To my eye, they class it up a bit and help make this one of the best MOPAR designs of the sixties. Still, my vote goes to the Ford.

I love both cars but give the nod to the crisper lines and slightly more attractive grille and tail lights of the Ford.

Love them both, but love the Ford more.

I do not choose the pictures, I choose by the year, make, model ; the skirts, wheel covers and even the color can be changed. Today is a tie for me they both are beautiful cars and I would be proud to own either.

They are both nice but I have no hesitation in choosing the Ford. Thanks John ! 👍

Fairly close looks-wise but I think the Plymouth's engine, transmission, and suspension all are superior to the Ford's.

I agree about the engine selection for this car.  I recall a local realtor bought a brand new '65 Plymouth Fury III convertible in pastel beige; it had the 383 (similar shown below).  It was the first one I had seen and was admiring it (top down) outside his office in my village, when he and two other guys came out.  The owner was showing it to them and fired it up  That 383 with dual exhaust sounded awesome as it idled.  The guy was in his 50s but I wondered why an old person like him would want such a hot car.  Lol.....my 13 year old's perspective!

Gotta go with the formal design of the Plymouth and of course the drive train.
