You know my love of Pontiacs, but the '57 Ford brings fond memories for me. I voted a tie. I still don't understand why both DM and FM did the Skyliner. I wish DM would have given us a standard ht. Was it a ,"lets outdo FM" decision?😟

Yes a Victoria would have been welcomed. Would have also been nice if they also did a Sunliner. The rear of the Skyliner is awkward to say the least.

The '57 Pontiac appears clumsy compared to the sleek lines of the Ford.

Gents, thanks for your responses!

@geno I’m with Geno on this one, I’m pure Pontiac but I’ve never cared for ‘52 through ‘57 styling. The Ford looks sharp, and hey, it outsold Chevy that year. Whoda thunk?
