While the Ford looks great in the tu-tone blue the car it self just doesn't compare to the first Pontiac I ever loved. '57 to '64 I love the full-size Pontiac.

For me it is the Ford. When I was young, my parents borrowed Grandpa's 57 wagon to camp at Roaring River in southern Missouri. Later Grandpa had a white over yellow 57 4 door.

Two beautiful cars, but the Pontiac is slightly better to me.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The Pontiac is absolutely STUNNING in that "Starlight Yellow" color and it gets my vote today!

Pontiac, although My favorite of the three year run is the 55. The 57 Ford is my favorite of it's three year run. In this comparison the color, like Barry, gave the Pontiac the edge.

I voted a tie on this one.  I like the color of the Pontiac.  You could not miss it as it drove by and I find the taillights neat.  I have seen a Ford in this color mix at an Auto Show at a church parking lot in Virginia years ago. My nephew and I were on our way home from miniature golfing and saw the car on the Fairfax County Parkway going in the opposite direction and the chase was on.  We followed it and spent the rest of the afternoon looking at the show. I think it was a convertible I know I have a picture In the cloud.

Wow, this was hard for me. You all know my love for Pontiacs, and these 2 are 2 of my favorite 50's cars. My Uncle Orville had a dark green '57 Star Chief ht, my Uncle Charlie had a '57 Fairlane 500 ht. in these very colors. I loved both. But it's still the Pontiac for me.😊

I voted, not interested.  Don't really care for either.

I like both of these with a slight preference to the Pontiac. As usual John, a difficult choice.

I love them both but the Ford design and color separation wins this one.  Remove the skirts though.

Each is such a beautiful 1950's American automobiles. I would be happy with a real or model version of either one.

I don't care for the grill and front bumper on the '57 Pontiac. I love everything about the '57 Ford.

Gents, thanks for your replies.
