I have always loved the '64 Comet Cyclone; it was one of those designs that struck me immediately as gorgeous and never has changed with time. It was offered in so many attractive colors too. The '65 is a very nice looking car too, but the '64 wins this one.

I like the more athletic looking 65 (along with the 65 Fairlane). 😎👍

No wrong answers on this one. But that doesn't mean it's an easy choice. I had a '67 Cyclone GT and the 65 looks closer to it than the 64. BUT; I have always loved the 64 Falcon and, even more, the Merc. So today, it is the 64 for me!

@perrone1 I like the '66 Cyclone but the '67 you mention was a much better looking car. A friend of mine had a black vinyl over light metallic green one with the 390; it was a cool car.

I will go with the 65 just for the vertical headlights.

Never my attempt to be a spoiler here, but sorry guys, I don't care for either of them. The square boxy styling and that unattractive roof line steers me over to either Chrysler Corp. or General Motors for 1964/1965 designs. So today, I vote "No interest".

The only Comet I really like the styling of is the '65. Not really into compacts with the exception of the '65 Comet, '68 - '71 Dodge Dart, '66 & '67 Nova. '66 the Comet went to mid-size and I much prefer the Fairlane.

Me too. Plus the mag wheels.
They're both terrific though.

Very similar other than the front lights and resultant bumper and grill design changes. I slightly prefer the front looks of the 1965 Cyclone.

I like the '64 just a bit more, although either would be a great ride.

I, too, prefer the '65 for the vertical headlamps. I also find the trim piece on the front fender leading edge of the '64 to be annoying, especially at the angle view that John has presented.
