Going with Tbird.  The Riviera is OK but trending away from the beautiful 63-65.  😎

Harder than I thought it would be. I voted for the Ford by the narrowest of margins. Reverse the colors, however, and the T-Bird wins by several furlongs!

I still went with the Buick for the sleekness of the Body lines.

Neither vehicle is on my favourites list but I do prefer the lines of the Buick.

Sorry!  These '66s were a double dose of bad styling to my eyes.   Both are "walk right past it" cars for me.

"Yer killin me, Smalls!" Two of my favorites. I'll take the T-Bird today for that incredible interior with the wrap-around rear seat. The Riviera interior was good but, IMO, didn;t match the T-Bird's.

Both are beautiful cars IMO. The interior of the T-Bird is a home run over the Buick but the Buick body style appeals to me just a bit better. Buick.

The T-bird in a convertible please. Don't care for the hardtops.

I voted for the Riviera, to me it combines sport and luxury very well. I don't see much "sport" (but yes, lots of luxury!) in the T-Bird.

For me it is the gorgeous Riviera by a country mile.  The last T-Bird that I found attractive was the '63, which was awesome!

Riviera is my choice.  John, your pic of the T-bird is actually a 1965, although the 1966 isn't much different, just cleaned up a bit. I really enjoy your daily poll!

Riviera for me. It's so beautiful, and unfortunately overshadowed by its iconic predecessor and the Toronado. Tough act to follow, but it works for me.

Love both, but it's the Buick that wins my vote.
