I didn't have to look at the photos before choosing the beautiful DeSoto. Olds next, but all terrific.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I'll be a little different.  Desoto, Mercury then the Olds.

1956 rocked when it came to style from the Big Three!  Every car in their respective line-ups were eye-grabbing beauties.  Today's "Which One?" exemplifies that!  I love all of them and would be proud as a peacock owning and driving any of them. 

It is very close, but here is how I vote: #1 OLDSMOBILE  #2 DeSOTO  #3 MERCURY. 

I'll be honest though, this one is a moving target.

From the pics here the DeSoto, in real life the Mercury, would that make it a tie?  Don't care for the Olds. Most people seem to be going DeSoto so I will vote Mercury, like them both.

It is very close for #1 & 2 but I'm going with the beautiful Mercury by a nose over the DeSoto.  Olds is third.  For me it would be almost a 3-way tie if these were 1955 models.

DeSoto is #1 and Mercury and Oldsmobile are tied for #2. If the Olds was a 98 it would be #2 alone.
