[Closed] PICS - Which one is the winner today?

Hi Larry, I know that Chevy is your favorite and it is a beauty but I would just love to have that Ford. Even with the slight mods that were done. All three are great cars.

I was always a Ford guy but in later years that 56 Chevy seemed to edge out the 56 Ford..

Ford Fairlane.

Yes....+1

Pics:In this case the Custom Ford #1, the Mercury #1.75, beautiful Chevy but I don't care for the 56

If it was 55 then Chevy #1, Mercury #2, Ford #3 but I do like FoMoCo in 56 much better than Chevy.
The Dash makes a big difference to me since it is the part of the car the driver looks at most. In 55 it was Chevy; in 56 Ford by a mile.

That is a '55 210 chevy dash. Not a fair comparison IMHO.

All 3 are great! However, as a Ford fan, my bias forces me to say Ford.

NOOOO!! Two of my fav cars are - 56 Merc in yellow & black and 56 Chev in bronze & cream.

Why don't you just ask me to pick which one of my kids I like best.
Aghhhhhh.

Being a Ford man in this case I would have to go with the Chevy.

I don't care for the Mercury trim on the Ford or the color and was not much for Mercury's until the 57 and 58 and I like them a lot.

Chevy

No fair, I owned both a 56 Ford and a 56 Mercury! I have to choose between them????

Have to go with the Mercury, I had it first.

The only Chevy my parents ever had was a 56 Chevy wagon. I hated it. Most uncomfortable car I ever had the misfortune to sit in. So the Chevy isn't even in the running.

Sorry it was the best pic of a Chevy dash shown on a search page labeled 1956 Chevrolet Dash.

dozens of them. This was the clearest one to me. I honestly don't know the difference between the two 55 - 56, they resemble each other to me. Post a couple pics of both and point out the difference. I really would like to know just for the knowledge and not make the mistake again, please? I like the or what I thought was a 55 Chevy better than the 55 Fords; but in reverse in 56 the Chevy resembled the 55 I don't know the differences and I much prefer the 56 Ford round gauges and hood over them to what I thought was a 56 Chevy. And thank you for catching the error.

PICS - For you Bruce - 1955/1956 Chevrolet Dashboards

The one you posted was like the first one posted here.

The difference is the basic bottom tier 150 or 210 and the top of the line Bel Air.

The is very little difference between the 1955 and 1956 dashboards especially the gauge unit.
