I'm going with the Olds even though I like the proportions of the 98 better.

Color aside, I prefer the styling of the comparatively rare Dodge HT. The '55 Olds is my fave of its decade but the Dodge in this body style impresses just a bit more.

I voted for the Olds also. It seems to me to be a more mature design. The Dodge looks a bit garish in comparison. I do like both, however.
1955 was a terrific year for the Big Three. It was good for me too, since I was born in January. 😉

Looking at the Oldsmobile today, I find it seeming overblown and fatter than it should be while the Dodge seems more svelt. I prefer the Dodge.

OLDSMOBILE!
The Dodge (even with a new body style this year) in comparison looks old and stodgy. Absolutely NO competition in the styling department when up against the Oldsmobile, which is very forward and futuristic looking.

Olds - it looks a cut above the Dodge to me.

I know folks prefer the Olds. But, to my eye, it's a carry-over from '54, while the Dodge is lean and fresh-looking.
