I like the styling of the Olds 10x better than the Merc.

I'm not a fan of either one but do slightly prefer the Mercury Parklane.

Me too.  The '59 is the least attractive year of Mercury ever made IMHO.

Got to go with the OLDSMOBILE!  Not because I don't like  the Mercury, but mostly because I like the OLDSMOBILE way, way better.  I've it often that I think General Motors styling for 1959 was out of this beautiful (except Cadillac).  The Buick and Pontiac give me total goose-bumps every time I see them and the Chevy is so unique, and it was my first car, so I have to love it.  Smile But of the GM line-up for that year, OLDSMOBILE takes it to the moon.

Olds for me too. Looks way better, and Olds was on top of their game.
