I like them both. The 57 for just about everything. The 56 because it shows the progression that Mopar was going through in the 50s.
The Buick is nice but a bit bulky. The Chrysler gets my vote.
Always a fan of Chryslers. This is the best design year for Desoto so it is a tie. I have always wondered what it was like to drive with review mirro...
Neither.
I have to agree with Mr. Jacobs. The Ford design looks tighter and neat. My second pick I would take the Lincoln long and smooth cruise down the hig...

I like the 48s jazzy grill and curves. The 49 is starting to begin Chryslers shapeless design leading to the 55 remake. I don’t recall seeing an earl...
Plymouth is my choice today. We had a blue Belvedere from 58 to 63. My first car. I sat on my dads lap and steered that car so many times. I wish t...
