Both are interesting vehicles. Despite the pink, I have a slight preference for the DeSoto.

DeSoto in a heartbeat. I love the looks of the 1956. Not pink would be better.

What a great illustration of how vibrant car colors used to be compared to the white/silver/grey/black of today!
I voted for the DeSoto but both are stunning!

I like the tailights on the Merc as a tie breaker. 😎👍

I like both, but the DESOTO hands down when they go head-to-head like this. I've always felt that 1956 was an incredible styling year for the Big Three.

About as close to a tie as it gets....but Mercury wins because of a more attractive tail light design IMHO.

Love the colors on both cars, going with the DeSoto but I love the Mercury too.
