I'll go for the Pontiac even though it is not the Canadian version that I knew so well.

Another Canadian vote for the genuinely wide track American Pontiac!  No contest here; Pontiac styling is superior by far.  Dodge is a solid second and Mercury a distant third.  The '59 was the least attractive Mercury made from 1940 through "72. IMHO.

This one was so easy tonight.  The PONTIAC by a landside!  Not that I don't like the other two, but when compared to the the Pontiac, they come up way short.

For me 1959 was generally a terrible year for American car design. Can't decide which one I like least so I'll vote tie.

Pontiac. They were on a roll with the most charismatic product by 1959.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Can't believe I chose the Dodge.  I might add . . . THAT Dodge.

Dodge 

Mercury 

Pontiac for me. 

I've always liked that year Dodge for it's styling and especially those fins and tail lights. Nice choices John. Thanks 👍

Close between the Dodge and the Pontiac...today it's the Dodge. No interest in the Mercury.
