Tough one. Easy to go tie and easy to pick either as a winner. Leaving all loyalty to a brand aside, evaluating the cars on a visual-only basis is difficult. I like and dislike them evenly. Both grills are busy. The Dodge has singular interest fins while the Pontiac's skirts look a little out of place. Dodge's headlight treatment is too cat-like but the Star Chief's side spear, at the rear, is a little funky-busy.

Nope, can't do one over the other - tie it has to be from me John.

The first Pontiac I ever liked.  Never cared for the first '57 wide winged Dodge but they grew on me, '58 was only alright while I liked the '59.

'57 the Pontiac please.

Pontiac. In 1957 it was on its takeoff roll to the great 1960s.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Dodge.  You can't beat the Forward Look.

The Pontiac for me. Just a great designed automobile IMO.

The Dodge makes quite a statement but for styling and build quality this life long Pontiac lover gives Poncho the nod.  I love the colors on both cars!

Not even a choice today.  The PONTIAC wins hands down!  

Chrysler Corps. "Forward Look" for their 57 through 59 brands were to my eyes, cars that seemed to try too hard, and it was a failed project.

Although the more "in the face" and more modern styling of the Dodge is interesting, I gotta go with the Pontiac.

I have to go with the Pontiac here. Dodge does grow on me, but not enough.

The Dodge looks a full styling generation ahead of the Pontiac. Although my least favorite of the ChryCo lineup for '57, it still gets my vote.
