Going with the Parklane followed closely by the Dodge. Never acquired a taste for the 67 Grand Prix after a few fabulous years before.

1967 started the downslope for full size styling, let alone bulk, IMO. Still, I like the Pontiac best, followed by Dodge.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
Mercury, Dodge then Pontiac. I had been a Pontiac fan but do not like the direction style took in 1967. Thanks John.
Dodge, Pontiac, Mercury. The Dodge with its sloping rear window wins this one.
I love this Pontiac styling generation and especially the Grand Prix, even more than that beautiful Dodge. Mercury a distant third.

Pontiac wins over Mercury by a slim margin this time, but only because it is a Grand Prix, with the more attractive headlight/grille configuration. If it was a Catalina, Merc would have won. Dodge styling tanked by comparison in '67-68.
Don’t like the Pontiacs this year and the Dodge is overdone in my opinion, so I pick Mercury with that great roofline.

Mercury, Dodge, Pontiac but after '66 I lost interest in full-size cars for the mid-size.

Jack, I agree with you 101% but I still chose the Merc by a slim margin.

What beautiful and powerful full-size cars for 1967. The fine Dodge was a client of my Dad's at this time, the very neat Mercury reminds me of Hawaii-Five-O cars and the Pontiac is, well, a gorgeous Pontiac ..... so I like all of these.

Steve; I have driven a number of '67 - '68 Mercurys and also the '67 Pontiac Parisienne 2&2. IMHO the Merc is the better handling/riding car.
Easy one. Hands down the PONTIAC! The other two follow far behind, but I'd take the Mercury over the Dodge.
