Mercury please. Like the Ford products in the early '50's, '51 to '56 especially the Mercury.

Mercury. It looks a full styling generation ahead of the other two!

I really like the Mercury but I love the DeSoto slightly more.

Three of my favorite cars from '53. With but the closest of margins, my vote goes to OLDSMOBILE.

Another tough choice. The DeSoto by a very slim margin too. The Mercury is excellent and the Oldsmobile-a very distant third.

DESOTO for me the MERC and the OLDS just look to overweight to my eye.

Strange choice for me as I owned a similar Merc, different color combo and I loved it. But if I would have had a choice back then of the two cars I would have purchased the Olds. Quicker, nimbler, better style, OHV V-8 power.
