1954. I like the "saddle bags" rear fenders that remind me of the Fiesta.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

1955. It has a much better looking front end and more stylish paint breaks.

Not a fan of either, but in the pics here I prefer the '55 styling.

Both are exceptionally beautiful 1950's Oldsmobile cars. A true thrill to have either one in diecast/model form or for real.

No interest. Sad faced looking cars.

The paint break on the 54 appeals to me more..

I vote '55. It just looks a bit more sleek.

Not that keen on either but like both about the same.

I like the "saddle bags" trim/paint effect of the '54 more but prefer the nose of the '55........it's close but the '55 gets the nod.

Both are beautiful, but my pick is the '54. The color separation on the '55 makes the rear quarter appear stubby, and what's with the cutaway fender skirts?
Gents, thanks for your replies.
