The Riviera is beautiful. It wins for me.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Voted tie, both beautiful cars but, I don't care for either one.

Slight edge to the Tbird, a friend’s mother had one that was a beauty.

While I have my usual bugbear about these vehicles being far too large for their primary purpose, in this instance, I feel the Riviera was the best engineered of the pair. I am particularly impressed that they backed off front wheel drive that year, unlike the Tornado, because of some of the unfortunate handling of that early GM attempt.

I voted TIE.  But not because I like them both the same.  I voted TIE because I don't like either one.  Both by 1967 had lost the aura that made them classics in styling only a few years earlier.  Their greatness was gone!

This was tough as both generations of these cars are favorites of mine, but I voted for sporty Riviera over the formal Thunderbird.

I'm sorry, but the T-bird, did nothing for me at this point.  Riviera stole the show.

I really like both, but the Riviera speaks to me in a louder voice.

Riviera by a country mile for me.  My love of the T-Bird faded big time after 1963.
