I was headed straight for the Charger until I noticed the W-32 on the front fender of the Olds. It got my vote.

Both iconic marques. When the 442 grew its haunches so large that it lost the delineation between roofline and rear fender, I felt it looked too awkwardly heavy. The Charger is svelte, slim and athletically trim. CHARGE - er, for me!

That Olds is pretty cool but the 69 Charger is still close enough to the 68 to get my vote.  😎👍

I'd bet the Oldsmobile was a better car in its day, but the Charger's looks cannot be denied. It wins.

442 for me. I like the Dodge but the Olds for its build quality.

Nice, but Oldsmobile takes precedence today.

My feelings exactly.  Charger gets my vote, in spite of the fact that it pales in comparison to the '68.

It was a tough choice for me.  I liked the 69 Olds when it came out, but being an Avid Mopar fan, i went with the Charger.

I like the Charger.  But I LOVE the 4-4-2!  This one was easy.

No mid-size beats a '68 - '69 Charger!
