Not a big fan of either - I am less so regarding the Poncho.

Dodge, especially in those colors.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Pontiac.........obviously. 😁💯 it's a shame FM didn't spin off a '56 from the '55 tooling. But maybe it wasn't as easy as it'd seem.🤔

Well, I like them both, but the Dodge looks more modern than the dated Pontiac and in the Dodge's colors, perfect.

A quick I don't have to think about "Which One?" this morning.  The PONTIAC hands down gets my vote!  I like the improved dashboard and grill of the '56 over the previous year. 

As for the Dodge, to my eyes it's way too complicated looking.  Seems to have been created with the effort of a committee that all took turns putting something on it.  Nothing flows well on it.

Nice pairing, John! I'm going with the Pontiac here, just because it seems a tick more upscale.

@georgeschire The 56 Pontiac Dashboard was the same as the 55.

I don't care for the 56 Pontiac nearly as much as the 55 but still prefer it over the Dodge.

Pontiac and just think of what it could look like with the colors from the '56 Dodge, with the lavender over purple.

Pontiac please John. I like both and got my first licence driving a 1956 Dodge. Still, the Pontiac appeals a little more.
