1956, one of my favorite American cars of the 1950s. It would have been tougher if it was up against the 1959.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I voted no interest. I was going to vote for the 58 DeSoto. Then I noticed the head light and grill resembled the 58 Ford, which I also don't like.

I like the Chrysler version of these much better; especially the '56. However, DeSoto-wise, I prefer the '58.

Love the '57 with the single headlight, but today it is the '56 or the '58, I'll take the '56 please.  '57, '56, '55, '58.

The '56 for me. My favorite 50s DeSoto, the '59 is 2nd.

Tie. I like em both. The 56 is a nice car. I agree Chrysler is nicer. I once saw a 56 that was used as a work car.  It was dirty and beat up but you see the design underneath. 57 is my least favorite Desoto  but it is a Desoto with a bad grill and worse taillights but still a Desoto and deserves a nod

It's the '56 that gets my vote, but I like the '58 too.

Gents, thanks for your replies.
