No interest in either one but, I think the '62 is the better looking one today.

I accidentally hit tie, but prefer the 1963 for its sharper lines.

@brush I agree with you.  No interest, but if I had to pick I would choose the 62

I voted for the 63 only because I find the taillights interesting but I am not impressed with either.  You can see that this is the beginning of Buick beginning to become a large luxury car.

'62 for me. Lines are slightly cleaner to my eye.

I am not a fan of this period of Buicks. Too large and while smooth riding, a bit bouncy leading to car sickness on longer trips. Not the best handling either.

Neither interests me. I prefer the ‘59 & 60. If I had to choose it would be the ‘62 cuz the 63 front looks too much like Oldsmobile to me.

For me, they are very close. I have always liked the '62, but it seems smaller and less luxurious than the '63. My vote goes to the '63.
