I've switched back to Pontiac from Mercury this time. The lines of this Pontiac really appeal.

Pontiac. Looks great, captured the market perfectly.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The Pontiac is absolutely gorgeous over the Merc.
I love the way the fender is styled to bring the headlights up front in a prominent position.
The coke bottle style body by GM put Ford to shame and I love that lower body color that helped emphasize it.

NO-CONTEST for this one! PONTIAC 100%! Was not a fan in the least of the "square-box" look of the Mercury. The Pontiac was modern looking, stylish, and rich.
