Got to go Buick today. I always liked the '57 particularly in jade green/ivory and jade green/white.

Disregard the custom touches; is it something like this:

Not keen on the Buick. I do like the DeSoto styling.

I like the rear styling of the Buick, the front not so much. DeSoto please.😁

I voted for the Buick. Its squared look was different from most 1957s. I think I am taken in by the grill with those two cannons on the bottom and the open eyelid taillights.  Have a Conquest and a few Neos in 1/43 I never liked the grill of the 57 Desoto and I have a bunch of western Desotos in 1/43.

Traitor, one of the better looking Buicks but still a Buick. 

The only DeSoto I love [single headlight though].

OMG Bruce. That's right, I forgot that. Too much headlights too!! HA! I love these DeSoto's, especially the single light variety. But I like that Buick so much more. It's just a preference thingie. You like hamburgers and I love bison burgers. But I'll bet You'd hate my tattoos and I'd LOVE yours!  Laughing Out Loud
