The '62 is by far my favorite Oldsmobile; the design is fantastic. I love the '61 for sure but it just can't compete.

Ed my memory is OK, but not that good. I do keep basic records in a file folder and a looseleaf binder.@brush We did the '62 vs '63 back on 10/20/2025.
Either you keep a very detailed spreadsheet or you have a steel trap memory like my partner!

Tie for me. I too love the slightly more polished '62. But man, I love those skegs.💯🤑

For me it's the '61 for its one year only pointed back. I can understand raving about the '62 for sentimental reasons...but other than that I don't see any reason to go gaga about it...to me it's just another car.
Gents thanks for your responses.

As always, to each their own. But me? I'm glad that "pointy back" was just one year. I couldn't drive a car that was "pointing backwards".
