I find that Crown Victoria particularly attractive. I'll have to go with it on this occasion. I'm enjoying this series John. Thanks for continuing to post these choices.

EASY!  EASY!  EASY!  The FORD by a landside!  After a nicely done '55 Plymouth, I've always thought they ruined it in '56 with the FINS.  As for the '56 FORD CROWN VICTORIA, it was refined just enough from its '55 version, that it was a WINNER!

I'll buck the trend. To me the 1956 Fury is drop dead gorgeous, while the Ford is overblown. I love how we can have such different opinions!

Since I bought a similar Plymouth and not a similar Ford, my choice is still the Plymouth.  Besides, it had pushbuttons for the transmission!

That Plymouth Fury is awesome but how can you beat a 56 Ford Crown Vicky?  So nice without the continental kit to obscure that beautiful tail end too.

I voted for the Ford, but it's one car I never thought looked good in black.  This one also has too much chrome on it.  I owned a '55 Vicky in white.

Vicky over Fury, despite the Tricky Tranny.

Plymouth very nice, but LOVE the Ford favorite of the '50's.
