They're a depressing duo, but the PT is faster so I'll go with that.

Lincoln. I'm a Lincoln man at heart. I had a '64 Continental that I drove back and forth between Seattle and Las Vegas, and Seattle and upstate New York. Great car.

 

[Michelin Man]

Clear choice; '68 Ford Capri for me.

Ford Capri. Looks surprisingly lethargic on paper but it seems like a car you could drive flat-out everywhere!

 

[GTV0819]

In terms of looks, Mercury.

They're all desirable, but I'll go for the Pope Hartford just for rarity's sake.

Inspired by a discussion elsewhere: 1963 American compact cars with their largest engines at the start of the model year.

1963 Ford Falcon Futura

101 bhp 2.8L straight 6, 3 speed manual

1963 Chevy Nova SS

120 bhp 3.2L straight 6, 3 speed manual

1963 Dodge Dart

145 bhp 3.7L straight 6, 3 speed manual

 

[Populuxe]

I'd like to see what the weight is for each car. The Chevy probably looks best, but I think I'll go for the Dart. A lot of childhood memories are wrapped up in a particular '66 Dart GT.

That Nova is a looker.
