Two incredible choices today John - Bravo! I really like the DeSoto, especially in its black & gold clothes and astounding wheels. But I really LOVE the Chrysler 300!!

The 300 for the win!

The 300B is one of my very favorites. I love how clean it is, and the engineering is amazing.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I will go with the DeSoto just for the 2 tone paint.

Oh yeah.... Chrysler !!!  I was 3 in '56 and have no clue of my age when first seeing this Chrysler. I still think / believe it to be one of the most beautifully designed automobiles ever.

I rather like both but family ties lead me to choose the DeSoto.

Almost a tie...both are very attractive designs, but I prefer the tail end of the Chrysler so it gets the vote today.

Tough call...today it's the bling that influences my vote so it's the DeSoto for me.

Gents, thanks for the pics and responses.

Both cars are outstanding but like John N. the two tone theme makes me pick the DeSoto by the smallest of margins.

Did any 1950's OEM "badge engineer"  better than Chrysler?   I think not!  😎 😎
