What great exterior colors on these big '50's American hardtop coupes ! The Mercury perhaps featured a more modern looking appearance and V-8 performance, but Pontiac was already planning a new look and V-8 for 1955.

Nice comparison John. I love both but favor the Mercury a bit more for it's last of the flathead V8s and it's dashboard.

Though neither are favorites, I like the comparison. Overall, to my eye and specific taste, I favor the Merc!

Mercury by a mile. It looks sleek, the Pontiac doesn't.

Anybody care to guess my pick, lol? Too easy, for me anyway.😁

This year Mercury is my favorite (tied with the '55) of its decade. I am a lifelong Pontiac lover but in '53 the Merc makes the Poncho look quite dated.

Spent many a happy/fun hour cruising around in best friends '53 Mercury.

Another Mercury vote John. I love the styling and the power train on this one.
