John, you set your class some difficult problems sometimes. I shall go for 1962 but for having looked and looked more, I couldn't say why it looks the neatest - the more lineal - but to me it does.

1961 to me is the cleanest iteration.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

They are all the same other than a few embellishments.  Tie for me.  I liked this era of the T-bird's.  Was not a fan of the 58-59.

Little to no interest in this generation Convertible & absolutely no interest in the hardtops. Love gen 1, like a lot gen 2, dislike gen 3, gen 4 is alright, and after that no interest in T-birds at all until the '87 & '88 Turbo Coupe & only the Turbo Coupe.

Tough one! They're all over-the-top appealing. I'll take the '63 just to get the hash marks.

I'll vote a TIE.  But not because I particularly like any of them.  This styling has always been so odd looking to my eyes.  Never been a fan of them.  I have some in model form in my collection, solely for what the styling represents in automotive history.  But when at old car shows, I walk right past them.  Now the old "square-birds", that's different.  I will stop and stare them for a long time.

I love them all and chose the '63 mainly for the trim improvements and body line which enhances the slab sides.

I'm prejudiced  but the sculpture lines on the 63 front fenders and doors make it for me.

'63 is my choice for the same reasons listed above. Then I like the '62 due to the hash marks on the rear fender and the '61 of course comes in last.
