I have always been a fan of the deSoto for this period.

DeSoto has the edge for me.

Now this is a tough choice. The DeSoto is awesome but the Olds is my favorite year in the 50s. So if it is between these two exactly as they are, the Olds because it is bright red.

I prefer the more aggressive styling and trim level of the DeSoto in '53.  I liked the Olds better in '52 and '54.

DeSoto for me as well.  But the Olds is really nice too!

The side trim and toothy grille of the DeSoto make it the winner for me.

Styling of the Desoto does it for me

It's a tie for me.  The DeSoto is delightfully delovely while the Oldsmobile is very merry.
