My pick is the Buick with the Mercury and Chrysler tied for second.

Chrysler first for its dynamism. Mercury second for its craziness. Buick dead last for Harley Earl throwing everything against the poor thing.

Buick with the slight edge over the Chrysler.  I never took a fancy to the 58 Merc.  😎👍

Button-tufted interior? I'll take that Buick all day long. They all scream, "Fifties!" But the Buick screams it the loudest!

MERCURY!  Followed closely by the BUICK, and I'd pass on the Chrysler. 

To my eyes the Mercury is the most modern and sport looking.  Not a fan of the Buick's big round front fender wheel wells, and the Chrysler was ruined after the beautiful '57's.

I’ll go along with Ed. Chrysler is my first choice followed by the Mercury. I can’t warm to the Buick.

I'm on board with JK.  Buick for its styling that defined a decade.

Chrysler by far; the other two tie for dead last.

The Chrysler is way out front, the most modern looking with the best presentation, the Mercury is 2nd, I like it but it just looks like it’s trying to hard. Then there’s the Buick, which I really like too, but it is old and dated. I wouldn’t pass one up, but it’d be the last one I go for.

Buick by far is the best of the bunch...it screams 1958.  The Chrysler is #2 and the Mercury is last.

Had to go with the New Yorker followed closely by the Mercury.
