Both of these are very nice although I would choose the Chevrolet if offered. A tie this time.

Just about a toss-up style-wise, but far superior engine, transmission, and suspension on the Dodge make it the winner for me!

Okay, this is really a tough one!  I think the color Red really pops on both cars and I really do like both!  But because I just can't give a "tie" in any of these polls, I vote with but smallest of margins for the DODGE.

Like both, but the Dodge like Moe Parr said, has the drive train & suspension & dash I prefer.  Dodge please.

Mercury styling wins this one by far for me.  The Dodge front end/grille was very unattractive this year.

Dodge. I like its looks, and the Mercury looks plain to me.

Not a fan of the Mercury, so it's the Dodge for me.

And I do fondly remember that Merc for other reasons.

I guess a few 'teeth/notches' on the flywheel gotchipped off so every so often we had to manually rotate the front end so the starter would engage...not easy on that beast, but we did it and were never late for church on Sunday !

Dad worked hard to put a roof over us 4 kids so I took my $ from my janitor job and was able to get it fixed.

I loved that car !!

Front and rear styling of the Dodge does it for me.

The Mercury by a mile. While I appreciate seeing the Dodge at car shows, I would never take it over a Mercury.
