In this instance I very much prefer the lines of the 1958 Dodge. The extra fluting at the front of the 1959 spoils the lines.

My vote goes to the FIFTY-NINE!  I thought the '57 and '58 Dodges were a big disappointment after the beautiful '56's.  But in '59, they got their pizazz back and were gorgeous!

  These were around when I traded my '56 Plymouth in on a '60 Chevy.  I don't remember looking at either of these Dodges.  So I'm of the "no interest" section.

'58 for me. The '59 looks like an overly embellished version of the cleaner '58.

58, the 59 went a bit to far for my taste.

58 for me.  The 59 seemed a bit overdone; especially around the tail lights.  I also preferred the grille of the 58.

Too much going on with the '59, so the '58 with the cleaner lines gets my vote.

Tie for me.  Both are beautiful examples of the second-generation Forward Look vehicles.  It's sad that many '57s through '59s rusted out prematurely.
