Real sweethearts ! They are great-looking 1950's American V-8 powered automobiles. I have a neat 1/43 of the big Buick sedan, but Precision Miniatures didn't really officially release the gorgeous 1956 Chrysler, although a certain amount made it out to collectors, I believe.

Buick, not into boats of the road.

Chrysler, please.

The Buick is nice but a bit bulky.  The Chrysler gets my vote.

I've always liked that Chrysler even though it sprouted fins a bit early. But she came to the dance with a full skirt and little dancing experience. The Buick has all the curves in just the right places, a dynamite mini skirt and shoes to die for. Going for a slow dance with the Buick please. Thanks for the invite John; we'll behave and I'll have her home and in the garage by midnight!

Buick for me. It's my favorite of the decade. The Chrysler is lovely but the styling at the front is heavy handed.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Chrysler all the way for me. Buick looks overstuffed.

@perrone1 What Tony said, I think. The Buick is drop dead gorgeous and certainly one of the best models in my collection.

Chrysler styling for me.  While I love the '56 Buick Century/Special the Roadmaster, although still very nice, is slightly bulky looking by comparison.

Chrysler New Yorker by a very small margin, I’ve always liked it better than the 300.
