I think the '61 is cleaner and more modern, however where the '60s are concerned, I suffer a nostalgia for the last remnants of the '50s dream.

I can do without the skirts, but the '60 is better looking to my eye.

I always thought Ford's designs made the cleanest transition between 1959 and 1961. I like both cars but lean a smidge more toward the '61.

I've been a fan of the 1961 since it was new. I like both, but 1961 wins for its clean looks and terrific taillights .

Back in the day I would have said the '61 by a wide margin but in recent years I have come to appreciate the unusual 1-year only 1960 design.  It is almost a tie but I give the nod to the '61 for its tail end treatment.

Being honest, neither one really rocks me.  However, I think the '60 Ford (in the top of the line version) is way, way better looking than the '61, which to my eyes is void of any styling personality.  It's just bland.

@jack-dodds Jack I was with you until the last sentence...nod to the 60.

The 60 has a distinctive look I find more appealing. 👀Those 61 tailights are cool though.  👍

Nice lines on the 1960 which would improve without the skirts.

The 61 Ford has always been a favorite of mine.  Growing up I wasn't fond of the 60 Fords looks, but as I have gotten older, the 60 is starting to grow on me.
