Oh man, I can't pick between them. They're Oldsmobile's, the 50's most beautiful cars!

56. The two tone paint, more cohesive side chrome, and reduced chrome grill speak to me.

The very patriotic Red, White & Blue '53 for me.

'56 for me. There are only 3 cars I like born in the same year I was.

The '53 for me. Not so much the gatemouth '56. Although at a car show lately the same model '56 won the peoples choice ride of the show. Lovely in glacier white with a roof painted a contrasting shade - a fresh US import, no less.

Two more for the fantasy garage JB. I'm just going out to build an extension.

Surprising myself and taking the 1953. If it was the 1954 it would be no contest though.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Slight edge to the ‘53 because I think the ‘57 is nicer than the ‘56, so I can’t select the ‘56...
