Easy win for the DeSoto, one of my favorite 50s American cars.
Happy 4th!

Extremely close to a tie between these two gorgeous cars but I give the nod to the Mercury styling.

Love them both! Slight edge to the Mercury.

I do like both, but the DESOTO wins because of the stacked fin taillights and even more so for the dashboard. It's beautiful. While the Mercury's dash is very bland and boring.

DeSoto please John. Both both nice cars but DeSoto a master class.

This was a close one for me but the DeSoto for the wire wheels.
