Very tough choice, but 300 for me. 


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Very tough choice for me too but the Wildcat edges out the 300 by an almost imperceptible edge.

Both cars are very attractively styled but I prefer the Chrysler in both exterior and interior design.

Chrysler for me.  Mom had a 65 Newport with a 383ci.  For a big car it was pretty fast.

Neither was on my favourite list for 1966, but of the pair, I prefer the Chrysler.

I had to put more thought into this one than I had anticipated. I love the interior of the Chrysler. I really like both designs. Ultimately, I find the Buick still riding on the coattails of a truly epic '65 design and voted for it.

Oh heck I couldn't vote Chrysler fast enough !  Just look at its beautiful body styling... It appears to be gliding along at over 60MPH whilst the Buick looks like a brick stopped it and crashed its front end.
