Poll: Which '68? (6/6/2026)

Way too easy..4-4-2-4-ME!

Going with the 442, that curvaceous body is quite sexy.

And John, you couldn’t have found two more similar pictures, beautiful three quarter views or each car in red wearing their stock wheels and rubber. One of your best “which ones?” Great job, I know how hard it is to find these pics!

I'm probably alone again, Mercury please. 

Never cared for the space between the headlights or the way the roof meets the rear  quarter and the rear quarter panel it self on the Olds. Other than the GTO I don't care for GMC mid-size styling after '65, exception being the GTO up to '67.

Beautiful and powerful muscle cars ! I have a scale diecast 1968 Oldsmobile but the closest to the Mercury I have are some 1969 Ford Torino Talladegas.

I like the long, lean lines of the Mercury better. but not by much.

Olds by just a bit for me.

Not a huge fan of either car but give the edge to the 442.

No comparison the 442 wins.  

@pete-rovero Pete, thanks for the kind words.

I never cared for the 68 GM "top melting into the rear fender" look. Merc please John. 

The 442 looks so much better resolved.

I love the fastback Cyclones and this was the first year of the 442/Cutlass that I liked, so I went with a tie.

@jack-dodds  Jack +1.

I voted a tie.  The 68 was the first year of the 442 that I liked the styling of.  I also prefer the 68 Cyclone to the 66-67 Comet.
