Slight edge to the 63 over 64.  3 beauties. 👀

Design-wise, I'd want the '63. But that '62 is gorgeous too and not only rare but represents the beginning of a fabled nameplate. I'll take the '62.

Ditto, but the 63 with more than a slight edge. One of my very favorite 60s American cars.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I love the front styling of the '63 so that's my #1 pick followed by the '62.

Nice series. I'm going with the 1963, followed by the 1964 and 1962. I'd like any of these in my driveway.

For me, it's the '64.  It seemed after two tries, GM got it right for '64.  I'd go with the '63 next, as it was (to my eyes) a major improvement from the '62, which was at least better than the '61.

To my eyes the sharper/edgier lines of the '63 make it a clear winner.  The '62 is second and the '64 is third but I love them all.

I like all but favor the '62. The horizontal headlights seem to complement the grill. I also like the absence of wheel opening moldings on the '62. Through 1977 the '62 is the only year without a concave rear window. The '69 GP really appealed to me. I'm not much of a fan of any GP after 1977. Of course this is only an opinion.

Well John I was wrong. Hi I meant to say through 1972 the '62 was the only year without a concave rear window. I need to get to bed earlier.
