Wow! So many good picks that year! I probably have to go with Mercury because I owned one just like that 'Orange' and white one in the picture in the Fred Meyer shopping center but I really want one of those Imperials!! Or any one of the other beautiful Mopars that year.

'56 is my favorite car year, and although the Lincoln Premier hardtop is my all time favorite car, I feel it falls out of the price range for this. So, let's go with my 2nd favorite, a turquoise/white Olds Super 88 Holiday.

56 was such a iconic year that it's hard to pick just one but mine would have to be this...
