Both are not that attractive but are well designed for purpose. A tie for me.

I give the Buick a slight edge but neither design appeals to me. With that said however, I would appreciate their presence at car shows due to their rarity.

John, as always, thank you for these polls.
In this case you paired two of what are, in my opinion, just about the two ugliest cars of the 1950s. So it's a perfect poll!
I voted a rare no interest.

Two top-of-the-line offerings from a polarizing year in car design. I like the Buick!

I've long been in the minority here when it comes to GM's '58 line-up of cars. I think they were gorgeous as a kid and I still think so today. With the exception of the Cadillac. With regard to these incredible wagons, WOW! I'll type it again, WOW! And in the hardtop styling they are complete knock-outs. I like both and would give my first born daughter for each of them in 1:24 scale. If I could only have one, the Oldsmobile would win out. My grandpa had one when new, and I remember just standing in his driveway starting at it. I was 7 years at the time.

They're both awesome looking wagons! My first choice is the Buick, but the Oldsmobile is just a chrome strip behind it. The only thing missing from the Buick to make it perfect is a luggage rack.

The Buick is my choice although I still have trouble understanding how they took the beautiful 57s and did this to them.

I like them both ! When I was a kid, there was a new 1958 Pontiac on one side of us, a new 1958 Oldsmobile on the other side and we had a new 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air !

YUCK to both, a tie. Add the '58 Edsel and you have a trifecta in the ugliest cars made in America, good old '58.

My thoughts exactly Jack !

Buick for me. I prefer virtually every year/model Buick to its Oldsmobile counterpart!

I love Buick and Olds. Never cared for almost any 1958 car design; I felt it got carried away from the more simplistic and functional '57 designs - twin headlights on everything, 4 tons of chrome, etc. That being said, I was 11 in 1958 and my step-dad bought a brand new '58 Buick convertible so my vote goes to the Buick! Fond memories.
