I'm going for the '57. The front clip on the '56 never really grew on me.

+1 '57 for me!

I've never been much of an Oldsmobile fan, but I LOVE the '57 so it gets my vote.
I have these beautiful 1/43s from Brooklin:
In addition to those pictured, I also have the green 4-door hardtop and the red-and-black Fiesta wagon.

Too funny...I've always liked that "front clip" on the '56.

They're Oldsmobile's and both are favorites. So much so that, I voted a tie. With DASHBOARDS being always something I look at, I think the '56 Olds dash is the BEST of any in 1950's. I love the open mouth grill of the '56 and the bullet taillights accented it really well.
As for the '57, everyone here on the Forum's who have followed my posts, know my affection for them. That split rear window is one of the most gorgeous designs of any car, EVER!
Plus in the fifties I always liked red & white cars, so it came down to me being unable to vote for one over the other.

1957 for me too. My avatar is a coincidence.

I can't chose. I look at the 56 and like it best. Then I stare at the 57 and like IT best. I whimped out and called it a draw!

57 slight edge over 56, both top notch. 👍😎✌️

I like the grill on the 56 better than the 57. Other than that they both look identical.

Both "hit it out of the park"...going with the '56 for sentimental reasons.
