Enjoy your time off and thanks for these great mind-benders! Cool  

I'll take the Sexy Chrysler - love that sultry and pouty mouth!

Even though these two are basically the same.  The Chrysler gets the vote for the beautiful nose job.

This era of Chryco was not my favorite.  I give the DeSoto the easy win; I never liked the gaping egg crate grille of the Chrysler.

Tough choice but I have to go with the legendary 300C.

CHRYSLER without hesitation.  It may just be the most beautifully styled car from the Big Three for 1957.  As for the DeSoto,  it looks like a poor man's customizing job that went wrong.  CHRYSLER was the star for the company in '57.

I prefer the look of the DeSoto but neither are to my taste. ✌️👨‍🦳

I like Chrysler's hint at European styling, with the PF200 esque mouth. It is very much of the time. But I also want to give a vote to the two old ducks in period costume behind the Chrysler.  It nice to imagine them climbing into the Chrysler and breezing-off to their weekly Whist Drive.

Chrysler, but the build quality of these cars was so bad neither was a favorite of mine.

We have, and are currently watching the DVD collection of "Crime Story" with Dennis Farina. It features a fantastic gathering of 'period correct' sixties cars including his '57 Chrysler 300 Convertible in black.

Going with the 300...never a fan of the DeSoto with "gold" wheel covers.

I will have to agree with Ed here. A really tough choice. Both beautiful and legendary rides, but I went with the Chrysler 300C just because I am more interested in Chrysler and Mopar products and interested in the history behind them. I don't know much about the DeSotos.
