This one was hard in an all-new way! I never, for a moment, thought I would find myself leaning toward a '62 Plymouth, but here I am!! I vote for the one I dislike the least. My order would be '62, '61, '60. I may be absent for a while. I have to visit my shrink after this poll! 😜

Oh man!  Difficult fer shear!  The outlier is the 61.  I think they were a little unsure of how to take a chance on downsizing so they rounded the back end changed the grill to cat eyes and cap like taillights.  The 60 went backwards a bit the fins. The 59 had a less pronounced fins but I do like the corvette like scoops.  I went with 62 because it shows they were downsizing.  They kept the 60 taillights enormous headlights.   All that being said I like the 63 best.  My Uncle had a 62 tan, dad’s cousin had a bright red 60 with white scoops (really nice) and neighbor down the road had a 61 blue 4 door Savoy (nondescript blue).

I voted for the 61, not that I really like it. I just dislike the other two much more.

For me it's the 1962 Plymouth as #1. First off, the ugliness makes in standout in a crowd. Secondly, one of our crew had a 2-door Savoy equipped with the optional factory 413-C.I. Wedge Ram Charger engine with Ram Induction and two 4-barrel carburetors. It ruled the street and strip. It looked like this...
