I think the 62 is a better look.

No Contest!  The '62!  General Motors '62 line-up was incredibly beautiful.

Hard to choose one over the other. A tie!

Funny...before seeing the pictures my thought was that you'd be comparing Wildcats, and I was ready to vote for the '64. When I saw they were Electra 225s, I knew the '62 would be my choice. Those rear quarter panels on the '64 Electra 2-door models look awkwardly long to me.

The 62 wins by a nose; both are great looking cars.  GM styling did a fantastic job in 1962.

I'll take the '64's crisp styling.

I am not a fan of Buicks, between these two I prefer the '62.  Much prefer the other GMC cars of '62, 1.Olds, 2. Caddy, 3. Pontiac, 4. Chevy, a distant 5. Buick. '64 would be 1. Pontiac, 2. Chevy, 3. Olds, 4, Caddy, again a distant 5, Buick.  Just one mans view.

1962, the ‘64 looks bloated by comparison.

Love both, but I'm going with the more formal styled '64.

I like the clean look of the 64.
