I guess I cannot consider either my cup of tea. But I dislike the Dodge less, somehow, for some reason.

Dodge for me. I'm not a fan of Pontiac until next year.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Dodge for me. I much prefer the '55 and '57 Pontiac styling; the chunky grille/bumper of the '56 detracts.

The streamline look of the Dodge for me. The Pontiac just looks bulky.

The 55 Pontiac is one of my all time favorite cars and my dad had a Star Chief convertible. In 56, Pontiac did their best to destroy everything that was good about the 55. While not a big fan of the Dodge it's better than the Pontiac.

Well, I like both, but I like the PONTIAC a little more. The updates from the previous year '55 were great, especially the Dashboard. And I like that Dashboard better than the one on the Dodge. So PONTIAC for me today!

LOL, that "chunky grille/bumper" is what attracts me to the '56 over the '55.

I passed my driving test in that Dodge back in 1956. Good memories.

Another toughie! But, once I saw the twin flags making this Dodge a D 500, the jig was up! I'll take the Dodge! Click here for more info.

@georgeschire The dashboards were identical in 55 and 56 Pontiacs.
