Both gorgeous, but 1956 for me.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I'm in love with the '39... Absolutely DDG IMO.

As a convertible, the Mkll looks incomplete.and much less attractive with the roof missing

I'll go knee deep into the 1939 car, where a fixed head or roadstef configuration is not as essential to the cars design as it is for the MK1

That '39 is stunning and gets my vote.
