I love both cars buy give the Merc the styling edge.
I had to call it a tie. While I am a Mopar guy at heart, and I really like the styling of Chrysler for 56, I have to many fond memories of that year Mercury. My grandmother had one - a fully loaded 2 door in Persimmon, I fell in love in love with it. I thought it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen And when she died my mom inherited the Mercury. I was hoping my parents would keep it until I was old enough to drive, but Dad was more interested in the money so he sold it. Ever since then the 56 Mercury has held a special place in my heart.
Love both of them but the Mercury gets my vote.
