Both make the same basic statement with slightly different window dressing. This time, I think, a tie.

I like the remnants of the evolved fins on the 64.

Okay, since I will never vote a Tie, I'll have to give the nod to the '64.  But being honest, neither one really gets me excited.

I choose the '64. It appears a bit shorter in length which I like. I could be wrong. But I'm going by the front bumper and its length in relationship to the wheelwell.

And I prefer the open rear wheelwell. Gives that Caddy a sportier look.

lmbfao... I was going to check but got sidetracked. The '64 still looks to be a more smartly styled body to me. It just could be those open rear wheelwells. Smile

Very close but I prefer the tail end of the 64.

Without pics I would have picked the '65. With pics it's the '64.

Have to go with the 64. Take the fender skirts off the 65 and I would have gone with a tie.
