Oh MY John, you continue to stretch the limits and propose tough choices!!
No wrong answers here - two beautiful mid-fifties automobiles. I love both and would be honored to drive either one, much less own either. By the smallest of margins, I vote Monterey, but it has to be in that color combo, warm and sensuous!!

I'll take the Oldsmobile. I love the "saddle bags" color separation of the rear fenders.

I went with the Mercury. The Olds just looks like a boat out of the water.

Merc as well. John, thanks for bringing these to us every day. I thoroughly enjoy them.💯👍

I really like both of these cars but the styling of the Mercury is trimmer and sportier looking; it gets the nod.

I'm going with the Olds by the slightest of margins. If the Olds was a 98 it would win by a mile because of the color separation.

OLDSMOBILE. It looks lower, sportier, and newer to the dated looking Mercury.

Bob, I used the Super 88 to maintain similar price points...the 98 would have well exceeded the range of the Monterey.I'm going with the Olds by the slightest of margins. If the Olds were a 98 it would win by a mile because of the color separation.

@sizedoesmatter I know why you chose the Super 88 and I agree that it was the correct model for comparison. I guess I was just talking to hear my head rattle.

I figured you knew my reason but I thought others here may not have known.@sizedoesmatter I know why you chose the Super 88 and I agree that it was the correct model for comparison. I guess I was just talking to hear my head rattle.
Bob, it's always a pleasure to hear what you have to say.

Love the '54 Mercury, actually I like the '52 - '56 Mercury s quite a bit more than the Olds of the same years. '57 is the first Oldsmobile I liked then skip to the '62.
