They are great-looking convertibles ! I would be delighted with any of them in scale or real form. I presently have a 1954 Mercury 2-door coupe in 1/43 scale and it is a real favorite.

I voted for the Ford. It looks a bit less cluttered to me especially with its bumper design. Yep, definitely “blue collar / oval” here.

I have to agree with Mr. Jacobs. The Ford design looks tighter and neat. My second pick I would take the Lincoln long and smooth cruise down the highway and third would be the Mercury.

Back in the day, talking with the car guys about which car you'd choose, many times it came down to what the car was worth. We'd say, even though we don't like it, we could sell it for more than whatever else we were evaluating. None of these flip my switch but the Lincoln is worth more in most cases. That would be my choice.
Lincoln
Ford
Mercury

The Lincoln appeals to me this morning, so it wins. Followed by Mercury.

I will put aside cost and go with which car I would prefer to look at in my garage and drive every Sunday. Ford by a hair over Mercury and Lincoln third.

To my eye, the Mercury looks more "upscale" than the Lincoln. I love the Merc's hood scoop and side trim.
I have one in "Bittersweet", just like the one shown, in my 1/43 Brooklin collection.

Tough decision as I like all of them. Ford, Lincoln, Mercury.

Lincoln has slightly cleaner lines, Ford, then Mercury but I like all of them. Cannot lose.

Always hoped DM would have made the '54 Mercury only as a Coupe.

....well, since my 1:1 '54 Lincoln Capri looked just like that convertible - only mine was a hardtop w/a dark green top - my answer is obvious.... although I really do love '54 Fords! 😎 😎 😎

I voted a tie. I like them all equally. If I could, I'd have one of each.
