Dodge for me. Neither facelift was particularly successful, but Dodge did it better.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Dodge is the only one of the '57 - '59 Chryco lineup that I don't like. Plus, that Edsel looks sharp in black so I voted for it today.

Dodge. The Edsel just doesn’t have “it”. 😎✌️

They are both cool automobiles at the end of the 1950's and their respective design cycles. The Edsel was also at the end of it's automotive life. I happily have a couple of 1/18 diecast replicas of the 1959 Dodge.

Not my favorite 50s Dodge design for sure but I give it the nod by just a nose over the Edsel. This year is my favorite of the three for Edsel styling.

Never cared for Edsels. When I walked by a 1960 Edsel on the way to school, I wondered who and why some one would screw up a Galaxie so ugly.

My thoughts as well.....mainly because of the very odd "stuck on" looking tail lights that were so at odds with the vehicle styling.

Dodge is trying too hard...it's the sleek design of the Edsel for me.
