Oh John!! You magnificent taskmaster!

I love the Riviera. I love the Thunderbird  -  just not this year for either. OK, I'm settled now after that first visual jolt. If I had to buy just one, I think I'd select the Buick. Long and lean, sophisticated and formal. It has the GS package and just look at those wheels!

I'm with Tony & David, the Riviera for 68.

This one is a Riviera slam dunk for me.  My favorite Riv by far is the original '63 but I love its styling right up to 1969; after which it tanks big time.  My interest in the 1960s T-Bird declines significantly after the gorgeous '61-'63 era and the Riviera styling is the far better of the two from 1964 to '69, IMHO

Mr Negative again, dislike both. So many great cars in '68 I would buy, if these two were the only cars available, I would keep my old car or wait to '69. 

Both nice cars but, T-bird after '66 styling yuck, never liked any Riviera styling. I'm a square and much prefer the squarer styling [looks like a car].

This T-Bird owner picks the Riviera for its clean lines and, as Tony points out, look at those wheels.

I went with the Thunderbird because IMO the Riviera's facelift from the beautiful 1966 and 1967 ruined its looks. 


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

T-bird is nice but not as nice as the Riviera.
