Ford please, it's more down to earth.

...one of my larger 1/18 projects involved many 1958 Fords - they kind of grew on me. So..... it's Ford by a hair (I do like '58 Edsels! ) but PLEASE change the wheelcovers from '57 to '58! 😐 🤨 😡

Ford. But I'm not a happy camper picking it. It could easily be a 'no interest' kind of moment here. There's just barely enough of 1957 styling here to still recognize so Ford.

No such car as a '57 Edsel. The first model year for Edsel was '58....one of my larger 1/18 projects involved many 1958 Fords - they kind of grew on me. So..... it's Ford by a hair (I do like '58 Edsels! ) but PLEASE change the wheelcovers from '57 to '58! 😐 🤨 😡

I think Chris is talking about the Ford - its wheelcovers are from the 1957 car. The 58's are slightly different.

What Tony said. Neither looks good to me. I voted Ford as less unattractive.

Although the '58 Ford is not as attractive as other Fords of its decade I still like it very much. It gets the nod over the oddly styled but still cool and unique Edsel.

I would love to see a photo of the Edsel with it's top down to go with the Ford. I am not really a fan of either, but I will give my vote to the Edsel for it's nose.

A tough one for me. I'm drawn to the daring design of the Edsel. Any truly good design tends to polarize folks. This one does it in spades! But, I've always enjoyed the Ford for '58. This time, I vote for Ford.

I love both designs, but I picked the Ford as well. I've always liked the rear styling of the '58 Ford, they stepped away from the typical round taillights, I liked that, the same for '60, I always liked the rear of the '60 full size Fords.😊

I went with Edsel. I never cared for the front end of the Ford.

The Ford is my second best favorite from this three year series but the Edsel is my favorite of the three years of it's production. My real favorite is the Citation as it adds more glitz to an already glitzy car.

I voted no interest. The Ford is a let down after the beautiful 57. The Edsel is so ugly, it's a 2 bagger.
