I've always liked the '65 Ford. It wins. Mercury next. By 1965 the Lincoln's proportions were far removed from the perfect 1961.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I loved the '65 Ford from the first moment I saw it and still do.  Its stacked headlights, edgy styling and roof line make it a winner IMHO.  The Mercury is a close second; I love its aggressive statement.  Not a big fan of this year Lincoln....very hard to top the gorgeous '61.

For me, Ford, Mercury and finally Lincoln. All are reasonable designs.

For me - Galaxie for the easy win. Love the stacked lights, clean lines, grill and roofline. Continental next because of its familiar and traditional, by 1965, looks and the fact that it is a drop top. Park Lane a close third.

I voted TIE.  But not because I can't decide which one I like better than the other.  I honestly dislike the styling of ALL of them equally.  Bad year for FoMoCo from my ringside seat.

Amazing how we can have completely opposite perspectives.  But I'd still enjoy sitting with you to have a beer or cup of coffee and talk cars.

I voted for the Ford; it's one of my all-time favorites. But then, thanks to Tony, I saw that the Continental was a convertible. I will always gravitate to the Lincoln 4-door convertibles. Wish I could change my vote!

I also voted for the Ford.  The Mercury is a close second.

I voted for the Mercury, it looks related to but upscale of the Ford. And Lincoln's best years of this excellent body style were behind it by 1965.
