I can’t exactly explain why … but I prefer the Buick.

I've always had a problem with the heavy look of the rear portion of the 442's roof. For styling - I pick Buick!

Initially thought tie. Like the Buick nose but on reflection, went for the Oldsmobile.

Also tie. Oldsmobile is supposedly the best handler, but the Buick is more luxurious.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I voted tie. They both are nice.  I have driven a 1969 cutlass that my Aunt owned in and out of her garage when I would wash it.  I had a 1982 that I really liked gave me years of joy rides and service. When I was done with it gave it to my dad as his work car. He ran it until it died sometime in the 1990s.  Never ridden in the Buick.
