PICs: Which '49? Mercury or Oldsmobile by John Bono #44382

Mercury please. Just don't care for the fast back in that period for GM. (EOM) by Bruce Parsons #44382.1

I like the Olds and its fastback. To my eye, it makes the Merc, nice in itself, look dated. (EOM) by John Kuvakas #44382.2

Both are very nice but I'll take the Merc today. (EOM) by Jack Dodds #44382.3

MERCURY. The Oldsmobile looks really old and dated in comparison. (EOM) by George Schire #44382.4

I'll take the Olds...great timing, John, look what the UPS man brought me today! (PIC) by Barry Levittan #44382.5

Both nice, but I'll take the Olds. (EOM) by Ed Glorius #44382.5.2
