Most assuredly a tie for me. Nice comparison choices John. Thanks.

This one was at the L.A. Roadster show a few weeks ago.

Oldsmobile by the tiniest of margins.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

These two are my least liked of the 1957 General Motors lineup.

Before seeing the pictures I was sure I was going to vote for the Buick. But the color of that Oldsmobile is so perfect for it, I voted this one a tie!

I prefer the grille, trim/color separation and tail lights of the Buick, but love them both.

Olds please, for the side trim [not a check mark diving for the ground before the rear wheel] and the front bumper [no overly large bumperettes or what ever they are called, on each end of the bumper] and the Olds grill just looks less cluttered.

I like them both, but the OLDSMOBILE gets my vote.  Three reasons, first, everyone knows I favor Oldsmobile's and the '57 is my favorite year of the fifties.  Second reason, it was the first year that Oldsmobile added a station wagon to their model line-up and it's a hardtop to boot.  And finally the third reason is, I like the Oldsmobile's plane side paneling.  The Buick with the chrome strip and two-tone paint, is too busy for my eyes.

I went with the Olds, as I do not like the dip in the chrome before the rear tire opening on the Buick.

Love the Buick...for me it's all about the dip. I'm a fan of the Oldsmobile too.
