This is a close one as this is my favorite year for both of these cars in this decade.  DeSoto by a narrow margin!

I choose the DeSoto. From a syling point, I prefer the looks of this car over the Oldsmobile. They likely performed in a similar fashion.

I've been sitting here trying to decide and can't. Tie for me as both of these are favorites of mine.

I like the '55 DeSoto.  I like the '55 Oldsmobile.  And when it comes down to choosing only one of the two, I have to vote:

OLDSMOBILE

I don't quite understand the disdain directed at the Olds from many folks.  But hey, it's America.

I also find this to be a difficult choice, but I'm voting DeSoto.

DeSoto! So much more modern looking. Look how much lower the hood and front fender lines are!

I much prefer the 56 DeSoto over the 55 so I chose Olds this round.
