Both beautiful, but ‘56 Olds is one of my favorite cars ever!

Mercury for me, no contest.

Oldsmobile.

I'd take the Mercury in a heartbeat, but against the Oldsmobile, the OLDS WINS OUT!

The winning color combo on that Olds gets it my vote today!

Mercury styling is much more appealing to me; especially the nose.

JB, every time you put '55 or '56 cars on your wonderful posts..
I have to go round banging my head against the wall as I can never choose. So, I have a massive headache (again) this morning! Both wonderful, both have to be in the fantasy garage. By the way, the pain is worth it so please keep posting!

A bit more partial to the Mercury - it's a color against color showdown.

Mercury!!

Question again: are we comparing colors or styling? Choose one for color and one for styling?
Kinda hard to change the styling but the color is relatively easy to change. Like choosing the entire car just for the rims, which can be changed easily, $$.
So I choose the styling not the add on's or color.
'56 Olds styling against '56 Mercury; not red against blue or connie or no connie, just my personal opinion. OR we choosing the actual/exact picture we like best???

Mercury by a mile in 1956: Oldsmobile by a mile in 1957: neither in 1958.
