Has to be the DeSoto for me. I spent many happy hours in that car and grew to love it. I like the rest about equally other than the Imperial which seems a little cumbersome.

I think Chrysler Corp. always put forth its best styling effort on its namesake division.

DeSoto for me followed by a tie for second between the Imperial and Chrysler and a tie for third between the Dodge and Plymouth.

1) DESOTO  2) CHRYSLER  3) PLYMOUTH  4) DODGE  5) IMPERIAL 

The DeSoto was a no-brainer for #1.  That toothy grill is one of the greatest of any car of the 50's.  Not to mention the overall styling is the best of the five.  Now being completely honest (which I always am), my ranking of the other 4 brands is a moving target, with the exception of the Imperial.  It looks like it's trying to be a Chrysler, but is ruined in trying.

Hey John Bono, I really like when you give us more than two cars to compare and that we get a chance to rank them.  THANKS!

I’ve come to appreciate the DeSoto, I did like the Plymouth and Dodge back in the day. The New Yorker is handsome as is the Imperial but not really my cup of tea.

The elegant Chrysler by a nose over the aggressive looking DeSoto, then Imperial, Plymouth and Dodge in that order but close together.  I would be proud to own any of them.  What a styling change occurred the following year for these cars!

DeSoto for its bold looks. I have the Brooklin in these colors. Next up Chrysler and Imperial.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Yes, John they all look the same it was just a matter of size...the bigger the car the higher it resided on the food chain and the higher the price tag.
