In this trio, the Ford appeals most to me.

The Ford to me is more representative of the year 54 as the decade moved forward to what I think of as the 50s. I really liked the early 50s Chevy but it looks dated in comparison.

Ford, minus Connie. I like its size and looks. Then Chevy, followed by Plymouth.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Slight edge to the Ford but both the Chevy and Plymouth are beautiful IMO.

My VOTE goes to the PLYMOUTH. Followed by the Ford and then the Chevy. I fondly remember all three in our neighborhood in the 1950's as a little kid.

I'm with Ed on this one. It's Ford minus the connie.

George, you and I think alike. Plymouth, just stands out in the crowd.

I like the Ford, even though it was in year #3 of this body. The Chevy was kind of clunky and the Plymouth just didn't stand out enough. Besides, Ford had the new OHV V8!

Ford #1 for me also. I don't care about the other 2.

3 beauties IMO. The Ford is the prettiest and it has the newly introduced OHV V8. This particular Crestline Sunliner convertible is equipped with the Coronado Kit, a Ford factory accessory. It added a bit of flair to the line-up and it's much less daunting than the aftermarket continental kits. Here's a better view:
The Ford is my # 2 pick followed by the Chevrolet. Plymouth is #1 for nostalgic reasons.
