Hands down-THE BUICK. My favorite Buick of all Buicks issued-and this one is beyond gorgeous. The Olds looks plain in comparison-but the '57 is probably my least favorite.

Speaking of the Olds, that photos looks like it was taken on Woodward Avenue-probably during the Dream Cruise.

Both these GM vehicles look a little too overweight for my taste.

I love them both but prefer the grille, trim and color of the Buick.

The OLDSMOBILE rear split window wins hands down for me. The lower end Buick's had that same rear window, but I never liked the high end Riviera version.

Buick. I've said it before, there's not a single year where I prefer Oldsmobile over the equivalent Buick. But, '57 is the closest call, it's my favorite year for Olds.
