I have always thought that the beautifully styled and trimmed '63 Wildcat was the best full size Buick of that decade.  The '62 is second and the '64 third but all three are very nice looking cars.

'63 for me. I prefer the Ventiport treatment with the satin steel trim to the '64. Plus, as pictured, those wheels on the '63!!

Jack 'n' Moe have pretty much summed it up: '63. (Except I feel the '63 Electra 225 has one on the Wildcat).

I hope that sometime in the near future Sergio Goldvarg will decide to do a model of the '63 Wildcat.  His '61, '62 and '64 Buicks are very well done IMO.

I recall that a friend of my father bought a brand new '63 Wildcat done in white over burgundy poly.  It was gorgeous!

Sorry, guys the 64 for me.  The 62 just reminds me of an Oldsmobile, and just like the side trim better on the 64, so 64, 63, 62.

For me John, 1964, 1963, then 1962. This may be due somewhat to me liking the colour scheme but it is more likely, trim preference.

1963 and 1964 tied for first, but I voted 1964. Gimme 1965 though.

Easy one for me.  The '62 by a landside!  I'd take the other two in the order they appeared.  The '62 was the last year (to my eyes and for my taste) before they became "land yachts".

For me it's the '62 with its refined style as my number one pick. Second place goes to the '64 and the overdone '63 is my third place pick.
