Drove and liked that Dodge but I still have a preference for the Pontiac. Both were great cars for the times.

I wouldn't champion either's case as the most beautiful car. But the Pontiac is more pleasing to me eye.

Even though I do not think these 2 are in the same class, I went with the smaller Dodge.  I just doesn't look over done.

Even though I am a Pontiac lover the nose of the '56 seems a bit chunky; especially compared to the beautiful '55.  I prefer the styling of the Dodge for '56.

Dodge for me. It looks sharp while the Pontiac looks like it's struggling to have a cohesive look. Pontiac took off in 1957 and beyond.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

What a difference a year makes! Dodge for 1956.

John I think you very recently posted Dodge vs. Pontiac for 1955, and I voted for the Poncho. For 1956, Dodge styling improved and Pontiac got worse!
