I will have to agree with Larry. The Buick, then the Chrysler, then Ford.

Riviera, Chrysler 300 and then Thunderbird are my choices also. I suspect however, that the best riding and handling of this trio, is the Chrysler.

I'm joining the chorus. The 1966 Riviera has been a favorite since its introduction. The Chrysler has one of my favorite roof designs. The Thunderbird is beautiful too.

Sorry guys, but I couldn't rule out the Riviera out fast enough. Not a fan of that body style, and same for the Thunderbird. That means I vote for the CHRYSLER. And honestly to my eyes, it is far more appealing than the other two.

I still like the Tbird here with the Riviera close second.

Riviera for me too !
An absolutely stunning design IMO.
Chrysler is next. It too is a handsomely designed car.
I never cared for that roofline on the 'bird. It might have felt claustrophobic if sitting in back.

I'd like to add that compared to almost any car on todays roads, I'd still choose that Riviera over any of them. It has style, elegance, stance, an unmistakable silhouette and a fantastic interior that makes it one helluva K.O. Jus sayin.

The gorgeous Buick wins easily; Chrysler a respectable second; T-Bird a very distant third.

Love all three. Buick, Chrysler and T-bird by the smallest of margins.

I would love to see this year Chrysler 300 done by GLM.

Style-wise, it's the Riviera by a mile. Maybe not as "classic" as the original '63-'65, but very handsome in its own way.
By the way, I seem to remember reading that Goldvarg was planning a '67 Riviera, and thinking "Why the '67?" The grille treatment on the original '66 was the "purest", and the additional horizontal bar on the '67 grille made it slightly less clean, but still OK (and then with successive styling tweaks it was downhill all the way for the Riv.)
But I can't track down the post. Can anyone confirm? I have Neo's 1969 Riviera, which is nicely done, but I don't care for the nose job and much prefer the earlier style.
