I'm going with the Olds as the most modern, followed by the good looking Mercury.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Okay John Bono, you did it!  I can't believe it, but you did it!!! 

For most "Which One's?", I'm able to usually immediately upon seeing the cars, choose quickly the one I like the best.  NOT TONIGHT!  With these three, I could and will change my mind and pick a different car each time I look at them. 

RIGHT NOW as I type this it goes like this: 

1) OLDSMOBILE  2) MERCURY  3) DESOTO. 

Being the moving target it is tonight, I might just have to take a deep breath and VOTE TIE!

Before looking at the pictures, my mind told me Mercury, DeSoto, Olds.

Then I looked before voting, and changed to Olds, DeSoto, Mercury. 

John, you're a magician!

Mercury wins over Olds by just a nose; DeSoto is nice but can't compare in styling this year.

Just looking at the car names, DeSoto leapt to my mind as a 1st choice and Olds in last place. Then I looked at the photos, Mercury is 1st, followed by Oldsmobile and the DeSoto is way back in third.

For me...The Oldsmobile leads the pack, followed closely by Mercury with DeSoto trailing by a good (or not so good) amount.

So said that none of these three brand names are no longer in business.

That's because they were the brands I prefered most of the time; don't let me root for your team.  Add Pontiac to the list, RIP all.
