'56. The "Cathedral" taillights are works of art!

The 56. It's light years ahead of the 53, which looks like it's lost in the 40's.

The '53 is an incredibly beautiful car, but the '56 definitely outshines it.

To me, the '53 has more of the Packard character.

+1 Agree. I never took to the look of the somewhat coarse 56 nose/grille.

The '53 is a k.o. to me.

I'd take the 53 immediately...but would be happy with the 56 too

53. I like the roadster look versus the big 50s car look.
