Dodge for me. I like the grille and taillight design and especially the hardtop. The Oldsmobile is a tad too plain.

The Starfire was losing it's glow while the Dodge was gaining it's.

They both have similar noses, but I went with the Dodge for it's more compact size.

Too large, too plain, floaters, not drivers, but loved by some.

Dodge full-size: '56, '59, '65, '72.  The '65 Monaco was only available in 2 door hardtop.

Dodge-  grill is one Dodge will use for a few years - taillights are cool - shape and size are in keeping with Mopar at the time 

Olds- looks massive - same grill from past years- rather plain looking

Of all the incredible designs from GM for '65, the Olds is my least favorite. Dodge finally got it right for '65. For a domestic NA car, the Monaco was lean and very continental in its style. It was an inspired nameplate...at first. Later on it became generic. But for '65, the Dodge gets my vote.

The Dodge is my choice also. I think the Olds is too Buick looking.
