To me 1967 is when full size styling starts to head south, but I'll still take that Pontiac over the Dodge.

Almost too close to call - But Pontiac Grand Prix; by an eyelash!!  (Beautiful 'eyelash' turn signals, that is!!)

Pontiac, but not by as much as would have thought.  I don’t think it aged as well as that sleek Dodge.  👀👍

I'm with everyone else so far. Who remembers what was unique about '67 for the GP?

Tough choice with this pairing, but I went with the Dodge.  I like the sloped rear window.

The hidden HORIZONTAL headlights and slotted parking lights? I call them eyelashes! Ventless front windows and hidden wipers?

Pontiac styling was perfect and the dashboards were terrific.

A little too big but very similar and a tie for me. Those hidden wipers spelt big trouble in snowy and icy climates.

The only model year the Grand Prix came as a convertible.

I have fond memories of crossing the George Washington bridge, top down, "Do the Hustle" on the radio.

Tie, don't care for either one.  Mid-size after '66 for me.

@ed-glorius, you get the prize! '67 was the only year for a drop-top GP.

It was the first year since '63 that they didn't feature the GP lights in the grille?

Pontiac gets the easy win for me.  To my eyes the GP slowly declined in its looks after '65.  The 63 to '65 GPs were gorgeous IMHO and the '63 was the best of the bunch.  The '67 GP nose design (headlights) was much nicer looking than the regular Pontiac; which seemed chunky by comparison.  This era of Dodge ('67 to '69) did nothing for me at all style wise.
