Love the Pontiac but love the DeSoto more. Terrific bold styling.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Pontiac for sure.  I was never that taken with the '57-58 DeSoto design but they rallied with the '59 and '60.  Won't mention the sad '61.

I voted for the DeSoto.  It's all new for '57, and looks lower, longer, and wider than the refreshed Pontiac.

'57 the first year I liked Pontiac.  '56 - '58 the 3 years I liked DeSoto.  The DeSoto's lower, wider, longer looks win over the beautiful Pontiac in '57 especially the single headlight version.

I'm agreeing with Pete Rovero on this one.  I vote DESOTO.  It looks way more modern and sleek, while the Pontiac (though very nice looking) looks old and dated.

DeSoto by a long shot.  Never cared for the big GM cars of the late 50's.

I love that DeSoto. But, for me, the wide, narrow, gapping grille just overwhelms the front end. I vote Pontiac.

Voted a tie.  I don't hate them, but not big fans either.
