Two big cars; a little too big for my taste but nice looking. The Monaco has a pleasing sculpture to its side and looks classy overall. But the Delta 88 looks both stylish and fast. I think it's that slim waistline and muscular front end. Olds for me please John!

The Olds look holds up better over time to my eye.  👍

Isn't that a Chrysler 300? 

I'll take the Oldsmobile over the Dodge, but the Chrysler is the winner.

You fellas are sharp! Very much the same Chrysler platform but a lot of differences between the two. Here's a brochure pic of the Dodge Monaco.

I'll stay with my Olds choice John.

Yes that is a Chrysler 300, so I voted Dodge over the Oldsmobile.  So Chrysler gets my vote.

I'll make it easy today and simply vote for the "Mopar"! I would pick Chrysler (or Dodge) over the Olds.

But if the Buick Wildcat had been John's offering from GM, it would have tied with the Chrysler and beaten the Dodge for me.

I got to this too late, John and missed the Chrysler. I would have picked it. As it is now, I go for a tie.

I'm going with the Olds simply because my dad had one just like this and it was a great car both from a quality standpoint but also from the standpoint of performance because his had the 455 cubic inch engine which my mother thought was too powerful.

Dodge please, though not a model I like, but I prefer the styling over the Olds.

Would not buy either. I went mid-size after '65.
