Voted Buick. Mom bought a brand new '58 that looked reminiscent, only in white with white convertible top. Loved that car! Fifty-Nine was all about the fins. These two GM siblings had similar styling but, to me, the Buick is a touch sleeker.

I like the sinister look of the Buick.  😎

The headlights on the Buick do it for me.

This pair do not bring good memories.

Olds looks like a better design to me, I never liked the headlight treatment on the ‘59 Buick.

Buick for me. Best looking GM car for 1959 IMO.

I'm partial to 59 Impalas however my choice between these two is the Buick but not by much. Both the Buick and Oldsmobile are good-looking.

GMC styling sucked in '58 - '60 in my opinion.  Don't care for either choice today but If I had to choose it would be the Buick.

Olds for me. I love the jet tube fins and its detailing.

I really like them both, but the OMG Buick styling wins for me every time.

I prefer the Buick but the '59 Olds was my wonderful Dad's all-time favorite car (he never owned one) so for sentimental reasons I voted for the Oldsmobile.

OMG!  I went back and forth on picking one over the other.  Though I really like the Buick so much with its unique "Bat-Mobile" styling, I just couldn't past the Oldsmobile's more subtle, yet still out there styling either.  So I voted TIE.  Both are knockouts!
