Really like both of these but the 1963 looks a but more stylish now we are no longer used to seeing tail fins. Back in the time, I likely would have chosen the 1960.

To my eye the 63-4 Chrysler seemed a bit sedate compared to those years prior and afterward.  I pick the 60 today.

Absolutely love both!  I think the '60 has the most beautiful fins and the overall car was a dream to look at, inside and out.  The '63 has a sentimental attraction for me, as I owned one in the 70's, and it was one of most fun cars I've ever driven or owned.  BUT...always the proverbial BUT...if I have to choose, I vote the 1960.  Where are the keys?

I expected to vote '63 before I took a good look at the photos. I've always loved that year. But the 1960 can't be denied for drama. It wins for me.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Love the aggressive nose on the '60 and those tailfins terminating into the unique boomerang taillights.  '60 for me!

The '63 is nice, but it's design makes it look 7 feet wide.  I see they both share the same windshield which makes me wonder if they are based on the same platform.

The 60’ was just fantastic with its trapezoid grill and those huge fins 👍🏻

To me the '60 was alright, didn't like the '63, so today I vote '60. BUT, much prefer the '62.

I never cared for the '63 styling so it's the '60 for me.

Interestingly, only the 122-inch wheelbase '62 Chryslers were made as 2-door hardtops; the 126-inch wheelbase New Yorkers were only available as 4-doors (sedan and HT).

Well...I have learned something today.  Thanks!
