DeSoto. Love its style. Second favorite to 1956.

This 1959 used to be a fixture nearby a few years ago.

Two beautiful late-50's U.S. automobiles ! I have some diecast 1959 Mercuries, but not yet a '59 DeSoto.

The best styled Desoto of them all.  I do like the taillights on the Mercury.

The Merc is just a tad too much 'Jetson's' for me so I'm voting DeSoto.

A tie for me, I love the styling of both. Both of these are stunning in their own right.😊

DeSoto please. '55 to '59 DeSoto looks great, while I don't care for the styling of the Mercury '57 - '60.  '59 I would have bought a Dodge.

Mercury. Although neither appeal to me, I'm glad to have models of both.

DeSoto gets my vote...the Mercury is a bit far out.

Gents, thanks for your replies.
