Not the most flattering year for either one. The long, lean, but curvy & stylish Riviera, looks a little better to me than the T-Bird and the vacuum cleaner front end. Tomorrow, maybe just the opposite!

Riviera for me. The beautiful 1966/7 Rivieras are overshadowed by their predecessor and the Toronado, but to me they are terrific in their own right.
I do like the Thunderbird too, but not as much.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

To me this is a moment of transition, and whilst I am uncomfortable with both, it seems the Riviera is more comfortable with the changing times & tastes than the Thunderbird.

I voted tie as I think they're both beautifully designed automobiles. I give a slight edge to the T-Bird for its interior design.

Dont care for either, I generally don't care for Buicks and I generally like Fords, BUT in this case I think the Riviera looks a bit better. Back in the day I would not have bought either.

Again, not the best year for either of these. I do prefer the Riviera overall.

I like both but not as much as their earlier versions. Slight edge to the Tbird, interior and personal familiarity give it the edge for me. ✌️

I voted, "Sorry, no interest in this selection". Both cars are unattractive to my eyes.

Both are attractive and interesting and would be delighted driving or having a scale replica of either one.

The T-Bird is no match for the beautiful Riviera styling in '67.

I'm with Steve. The interior of the T-Bird is an out of park home run.
