Ford. Love the stacked headlights.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I love both of these cars but lean more toward the nose/tail end/body lines of the Galaxie.

I like the Ford's rakish and angular styling just a touch more than the Merc.

Nothing against the Mercury, but I prefer the 65-67 stacked head light Fords.

Ford created a very balanced look here, superior to the Mercury.

Ford, I never warmed up to the styling of the Merc. The Ford actually looks the more expensive of the two. JMHO though. 😊

I voted a tie.  One of my all time Fords.  The Mercury a bit devoid of any curves or style to me.  Still a cool car.

I like both but choose the Merc. Dad had a 2door hrdtp Parklane in ‘68 and I loved it !
