I love the DeSoto's roofline and the tasteful fins. But the Pontiac wins my vote today.

TIE today, I like them both. '57 to '59 are tie for all three years to me, don't love any of them, but don't dislike any either.

Both of these late Fifties American full-size cruisers look great, even with their somewhat different design philosophies. I like each of them and would be thrilled to drive either one, now or back in the day. When I was a kid, I had a 1/25 promo of the exceptionally cool 1959 Pontiac.

I’m with John on this, the Pontiac. 👍
