I'm not a fan of these Buick but would take the 1960 over the 1961.

I've always liked the 1960 Buicks, never cared much for those pointy things on the front of the 61.

I like the 61, less on the fins and more on the sportier side.  I would prefer the smaller Invicta series though.

This was a quick and easy choice.  And I showed the cars to my wife too, and she as fast as I did, voted for the 1960.  I have never been a fan of any '61 brand from General Motors with the exception of Chevrolet.  All the others had too many "points" on their fenders and bumpers.  The 1960 Buick on the other hand was a nicely sculptured work of art.

Oh Hell yeah, the '60 Buick was my dream car when I was 7yrs old !
To me, nothing else was even close except for my DADS new '59 Impala.

I have always preferred the crisper, leaner styling of the 61; although I like the 60 very much as well.

They are both nice cars. I never cared for the '61 but it has grown on me. With these two, it has to still be the '60-that is gorgeous.

61 for me, the size fits just a little better.

I think Jack Dodds came up with the exact right word to describe why I prefer the '61; it's "leaner".

I'd really rather have the 1960 Buick.

Love both but I will pick only one. Not the '60 with its lumps and bumps, but for me it's the slim, trim and streamlined '61.

The 1960 for me. I love the flowing lines from the front/lateral hood to the rear, approaching the rear lights, the conical front lateral bulges, beneath the portholes and into the side doors and the small, vestigial fins. And I like the shape of the hood.
