LOL, I couldn't type OLDSMOBILE fast enough!  I like the Pontiac too, but against the Olds, it's dog food.  Laughing Out Loud

This one is very close but I prefer the grille, tail end and trim of the Pontiac.

Tough call, but I'm voting the sportier 'new era' Pontiac.

'57 GM rules, like them all.  So close, but I will go Pontiac.  '57 GM; 1. Cadillac Series 62, 2. Pontiac, 3. Oldsmobile, 4. Chevrolet, 5. Buick.

I've never noticed this fractional highlight of third colour on the Oldsmobile before (red). I like it a lot so especially with the black and white, so I'm going with Olds. The Pontiac is more modern - though I've always wanted the bonnet mascot to be the other way up, and, if being modern at this time, would go for Ford or Mercury.

Pontiac for me this time by a slight margin. Just got to this due to watching Austin Formula 1 GP. Once again, a good one.

Of the two cars, to my  eyes the Oldsmobile is the more "forward motion looking" and "sporty looking".  Another thing I always consider when liking a car or not, is the dash boards.  The Oldsmobile for '57 had an incredible dash!  The Pontiac looks big and dated in comparison outside and the dash looks like a single panel that they just plopped in place.
