Often when I need to relax, I play a game in my head called, "My Year By Year Favorites from THE BIG THREE" from 1954 to 1959. Yesterday I decided to write them down. Bear in mind, it's all opinion (mine), but I'm thinking it could spark conversation. Each Brand is in this order: GENERAL MOTORS, FORD MOTOR CO., CHRSYLER CORP. And all cars are the full-size top of the line 2-door hardtop version. So here goes!

We differ on some and agree on others. Interesting that your choices are the same for '58 and '59. The fun of an exercise like this is that there are NO WRONG answers.
