I went with the '56. The '57 is gorgeous, but for me, just a tad too large.

Without hesitation, the 1956. Both are great, but the 1956 is one of my favorite American cars of the '50s. Chrysler 300B first, Continental Mark II second, then this Desoto, especially the hardtops.

Couldn't agree more.

I seem to be in the minority again. I think the smooth, refined '57 makes the '56 look antiquated.

'57 please, like both but the '56 is high and heavy looking while the '57 is low and wide making it look sportier and like it would handle better.

I have to agree about the 57.  Just a more classy car for the time.

Both are nice, but it's the more conservative '56 that gets by vote.

I much prefer the styling of the '55-'56 over the following 2 years.
