Oh my gosh, what a choice! Not a fan of either one so it would be a case of least egregious. Well, after several minutes looking for the 'winner', I decided on a tie.

@perrone1 Well said my friend. I chuckle when people are critical of the front of the Edsel but take a look at the front end of that Dodge. Looks like a contest from three rookie designers turned loose and the decision was made to use all three's ideas on one car. Tie it is.

Least egregious was exactly what I intended to post before I saw Tony's post. But I voted Dodge

There is a lot to like about the Dodge but not those front bumper teeth.  The 58 Edsel is a 58 Edsel so I voted Dodge.  🥴

LOL! Looks like we all, so far, are in perfect agreement. Yes, that grille is toothy!

I'm not a fan of either one. I do like the body styling of the Dodge and 👿 its front grill & bumper too. I'll still pick it over the Edsel for that roofline. Steve

Neither of these cars excites me much but nonetheless I still enjoy seeing them occasionally on the roads and at shows.  I give the nod to the Dodge by a narrow margin for its example of the tail fin era.

@david-green, I did too. It is the most Edseliest of all Edsels.

Simple one for me.  The Dodge. It is just prettier.

Without thought at all, the EDSEL!  Was never a fan of Dodge after 1955 and then until 1961.  The Edsel in all its oddity and historical baggage just wins this one!
