DeSoto - in styling and every other way!

Both are beautiful Fifties American full-size automobiles. I would thrilled to drive either one back then and I am happy to have scale replicas of each one now days.

The DeSoto is the bigger & better car, but I'll choose Chevy - today. 😶

DeSoto. I love the 1956 looks.

DeSoto please. '56 Chevy is the one of the tri-fives I dislike, love the '55 but the '56 is over done, the tail ,lights are too big, the Grill is too big, the Parking lights are too big for my taste.

Two of my favourite designs for 1956. I also will go with a tie here.

Desoto. I like the Chevy but it doesn’t beat the Desoto

I have aways preferred the 56 Chevy. I don't much care for 50s Chryslers, with the exception of the 55-56 Plymouths.

While I love both cars, the DeSoto seems more suited for older drivers. As a younger person, I’m drawn to the energetic appearance of the Chevrolet.
