Love that you've given us THREE to vote on and rank! Okay, here goes...
#1 PLYMOUTH #2 CHEVROLEY #3 FORD
Now here's the deal on how I ranked them this way:
I like the DASH the best on the Plymouth and I like the body style better than the Ford. I like the Chevy Dash better than the Ford, but I like the body style of the Chevy better, so the Ford is third. And you ask, why is the dash so important? Well when I'm driving the car, that's what I'm looking at.

I only drove two of these, the Chevrolet and the Ford. Of these, the Chevrolet Bel Air had the better drive and road feel. The Ford in comparison felt vague and you had to pay attention to your lane. Both cars were new at the time so I think that was a general characteristic. I just did not fancy the Plymouth styling much, then and now so choose the Chevrolet here.
I liked all three, too. But the Chevy was just too square, the Ford was all over the road, it seemed, and the Plymouth had a transmission shifter that stuck out from the dashboard like a dagger pointed at the spot just between the driver and the middle front-seat passenger. (Yes, we had those folks in the 50's.) I waited for the '56 with its pushbuttons. Mark me as 'like all three. Love none.'

I agree with David, it's Chevy, Ford then Plymouth. Chevy build quality was best as well. I love all three cars though.
Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth as I rank them.
