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.

Sorry, John, those shoes are '38s - LOL!
'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.
Thanks Marlowe.

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