For 1959, an all new Buick vs. a warmed over Chrysler - I vote for the Buick.

As much as I hate not voting for the Chrysler, the Buick was just a better design.

'59 I hate to say is the Buick.  I generally don't care for Buick styling especially the '58 but the '59 is alright and I actually like the '60 & '61. The only Chrysler I like is the '62 & '70 Hurst.

"warmed over Chrysler" defines it perfectly.

The BUICK!  Not even a question of being hands down drop dead gorgeous against the dated looking Chrysler.  The '59 Buick to my eyes has always been a work of art on wheels.  And on a side note, I've always thought that with a little bit of tweaking and customizing (and it wouldn't have taken much), the Buick could have been transformed in to "Bat-Mobile".

I’m blowing against the wind here but I have never liked the 1959 Buick. While I’m also not a special fan of that Chrysler, I would choose it every time with this pairing.

I like them both very much but prefer the statement made by the aggressive Buick styling.
