Without looking at the pictures I would have thought the 59 Olds but that DeSoto is spectacular!

Great DeSoto but the Mercury Parklane really caught my attention this time.

Thanks John!  I'm interested in how this one plays out.  I'm going to refrain from voting, though I'm sure those who know me well enough know which '59 has my heart.

DeSoto wins handily over Olds, with Mercury a distant 3rd.  For me this year was the least appealing Mercury 1940 thru 70.

I am going along with Jack's thoughts as well. The DeSoto wins this easily over the Olds (which I really like too) the Mercury is third by far.

The Mopar by a slight margin, but I can't call any of these styles good looking.

DeSoto for me and a tie for the Olds and Merc.

DeSoto and Oldsmobile are tied for first place leaving the Mercury in the dust.

I'm in agreement with Jack.  DeSoto was great flash, Olds tried hard but. . ., and the Mercury just used up a lot of highway.  Come to think of it, I never owned a '59 anything.  I went from a '56 to a '60.

If there was a Pontiac instead of the Olds it wold have gotten my vote,

Can’t decide on a favorite so it’s a first time tie for me.
