Both are very nice. My preference is the Oldsmobile. I like its design, and is one of those models I probably should have bought. Great pictures.

Is it just me or does that Mercury look very "off" somehow?

(Certainly not your photos, John!)

As a 1:1 it would be a tough choice but as far as these models go, the Olds by a mile!
