Still too large and overhanging at both ends but I do prefer the Pontiac of this pair.

As much as I like to hear Ricardo Montalban say, "Corinthian Leather" (totally fabricated on the spot by RM), I'm going with the GP for the killer interior and a starter that sounds less annoying.

The Charger SE! I had a '75, bought when it was only 2 years old. My first Mopar!

Here it is with a 22 year old me in front of it!

Neither, both from the decay period of American cars. Dislike the design/styling of 90+ % of the American cars built after 1972 to somewhere in the '90's

Being honest, I'm not really a fan of Seventies cars.  So neither one really appeals to me, but if I was forced at gun point to take one of the two, I'd go with the PONTIAC.  I like the grille better.

@moe-parr

I really like your car, even though, at the time,  I thought it resembled a Monte Carlo.

Like many of us I am not a big fan of many American cars after 1972; however I must say that when I drove a new 75 Cordoba I was pleasantly surprised.  It was ivory with a tan vinyl roof and "Corinthian leather" interior (thankfully not that cheesy velour).  I liked the crisp styling of the first couple of years then they changed the grille/headlights and put a dog 400 engine in it and ruined it.

Love the picture Barry. I could tell the car was relatively new as it still had all of it's sheet metal intact as the tin worm had not yet eaten it. Tough decision but I'm going with the Pontiac for it's interior.

Two handsome examples from the Malaise Era.  I chose the Grand Prix.  Back in the early days of this Poncho model when I was around 10 years old, I actually thought the name was pronounced Grand Pricks. 🤣

Grand Prix but I find plenty to like about the Charger.
