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.
Love both of them but gotta go with the car we had 53 88conv.
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.
'56.
Saint Clair Shores, Michigan
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.
Which are?

Two more for the fantasy garage JB. I'm just going out to build an extension.
Slight edge to the 53.
Surprising myself and taking the 1953. If it was the 1954 it would be no contest though.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
1956! In a close one. Sleek. Gr8t colors. Nice chrome.
Slight edge to the ‘53 because I think the ‘57 is nicer than the ‘56, so I can’t select the ‘56...
'56 by ten miles!!!!! My favorite Olds, just as it sits
