For me it's the Mercury for first place with the DeSoto and Pontiac in a tie for the #2 slot.

I couldn't decide, so I went with a tie.  I actually liked each one.

54 Merc.👍  Other two are great but a bit dated in 54.

Been a Pontiac man for many years and spotting this dreamboat at my local wallymart just affirmed it!😍

Larry's picture showed a 54 Pontiac the comparison shot was an earlier model year.

Nice Mercury but I'll take the DeSoto over it. I did not care for the Pontiac much before 1955.

Too hard to decide based on the 1:1s...so I'll let the 1/43s decide for me and I'm going with the DeSoto here.

These are all great cars which I would be proud to own any one of.  For me it's Mercury by a hair over DeSoto.  I love the Pontiac but it looks outdated next to the others.

I think I'm in agreement with Jack Dodds.  The Pontiac just looks outdated.  I am more familiar with the Mercury, but that DeSoto also looks good.  So Mercury, then DeSoto.

Good catch, Bob. The Pontiac in the comparison I believe is '53.

Mercury for me. It looks leaner and more modern. DeSoto next.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Tough choice between the DeSoto and Mercury. I really like them both. 
I guess a very slight edge to the DeSoto.
