Oldsmobile wins this one easily for me. I much prefer its more modern styling and drive train.

It's just enough different and more scarce - I think the DeSoto speaks to me.

DeSoto for style and Olds for power train Tough decision but Olds by a hair.

Olds for its modernity both in style and engineering.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The Olds looked much more modern and sporty than the DeSoto in 1949.
