@jkuvakas  The Olds is nice, but to me, the grille makes it look like a bottom feeder. 

I suspect that if, just for the halibut, you drove both of these cars down the pike you would find that the Olds handling would flounder a bit compared to the DeSoto.  Not to carp but considering this and its beautiful fins, my cod how could anyone not get hooked on the DeSoto?
