I'm not generally a Buick fan but I make a strong exception with this Buick. Beautiful!

Well, I've never been able to vote a "Tie", as that negates the reason for even voting, and being honest, neither car really rocks my boat.  But having to vote one over the other, I vote for the THUNDERBIRD.  

That BUICK styling for my taste was just too bizarre.

Buick for me.

I like the T-Bird but not that beak nose.

Too easy to run into things !

I am not a fan of either car but the Buick is better looking.  This T-Bird nose is hideous, I'm sorry to say.

Odd that one has a beak in front and the other in back.
