I prefer the more sporty styling and drive train of the Olds in 1950 but love both cars.

Man; another toughie! Olds was showing the way into the fast fifties, with new tech and styling. Merc was still old-school-cool.

Back then it would have been the bad-boy black Merc. Today I'd opt for the Rocket 88!

Old style or no, I still prefer the Mercury in this pairing.

John, for my taste in styling you put the Mercury up against the only other 1950 car that could beat it. 

OLDSMOBILE for me please!!!

Both are great cars but old school Bob chooses the old school Merc.
