Poll: Which Mercury? (4/8/2026)

Mercury '54 to '56 are the best looking of the '50's. I don't care for the styling '57 - '60. Love the '55.

@pete-rovero Hey Pete, did my wife give you that portrait of me? 😁 I'll take the fiddy five also. I was hoping that DM would eventually give us the single headlights version of the '57 Merc.😟

57 for me. It was something different at the time.  No other car came close.  The 55 to me just looked like a Packard.

NO PHOTOS TODAY JOHN!  If you posted them, they are NOT showing up on my screen.  I know which Mercury I'll vote for, but it would be fun to see photos.

The '55 Merc gets the very easy win today.  I love its styling and more conservative trim application more than the '56 (pics 1 & 2) but both are awesome looking cars.  I have never been much of a fan of the '57 thru '59 Mercury design.

George, first I see them, then I don't. Not sure why? Same with the photos the responders added...I see them, then they disappear, then back again????

 

@jack-dodds +1 1955 for sure.

I like the 55 but love the 57 TPC.

I vote for the '57...it's just soooo fifties!

George, I've since re-booteed and now it appears all pics are displayed.

 

I don't know what the problem is, but the photos still DO NOT appear on the page for me.  I see others photos on the page, but NOT your "Which One?" photos.  Seems  as though the internet gremlins are running amok again!  

I vote for the '55 for the primary reason that I liked it before the '57 ever came out. 

But, yes the proverbial "but", I like the '57 for the very reason that it was so vastly different and radical styled from any other Ford Motor Co. car, but also for '57 it was different from any other '57 from both General Motors and Chrysler Corp. 

The other thing that is immediately apparent is the incredible change in styling in just two years.  For this reason, this is one of the most interesting "Which Ones?" shared in quite awhile.  

@jkuvakas "Yes, as a matter of fact my Mom does dress me......how did you know?"

"Dude; help out a distant relative.......can I borrow your suit?  I'm freezing my tackle off here!"

@jkuvakas   Given the colors JK, I assume that's you.....
