I'm going with the Dodge. I love GPs but this one never sat right with me. To my eye, it's too awkward in the nose and too big in the butt!

Both are interesting but I have a slight preference for the Pontiac.

Oh how the mighty have fallen by 1968. I can't work up an interest here. 

1965 and 1966 are full size peak for me (and in that order except for Chrysler).


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I love the look of the Grand Prix-so unique. An amazing car to drive.

My thoughts exactly.  Dodge for me and I'm not really that fond of it either to be honest.

Dodge. That year's GP was a bit awkward looking, but one year later, WOW!

Dodge. I loved the 67 GP with it's hidden head lights but the 68 looked bulky to me.

Prefer the Dodge styling & drive train, but after '66 I was more into the mid-size cars.  Charger, Coronet in the Dodge and GTO, LeMans, and Tempest in the Pontiac.

I've got to go with the PONTIAC.  I love the grille (being somewhat of an Edsel look), the hardtop styling, and the dash (not seen in the photo), but I do like it.  The Plymouth is just okay.  I'm fond though of the hardtop styling on it at all.

Neither. Both are very uninspiring to me. Give me earlier Pontiacs as Ed suggested.

If I didn't see the two side by side I would have picked the Pontiac, but looking at the pics, this long time Pontiac fan is going with the Dodge.
