I guess you'd have to go with the '57. Dream car design that was "3 years ahead." Suddenly it's 1960

To be honest, I'm not wild about either.

Back in the day I always much preferred the lines of the '55. Now

I would say its the '55 by just a nose.

John; it would be interesting to see comparison results between these 2 plus the '56 thrown in.

Probably because I owned one, the prefer the one in the middle: the '56.

The 55 for me please! I'll take it in 1:24 scale just as it featured in the photo.

The '55 has the edge tonight. Both are very nice cars.

The longer, lower, wider '57.

I once owned a '55 - unsurprisingly, that is my choice today.
