I chose the Ford this morning. The other two held up well over the years but I always like that Ford. 👍

I chose the Plymouth with the Ford close behind. Did not care for the Chevrolet in 59 or 60.

A toughie to return with! I really like the Ford for '59, but those bat wings are so outrageous, I had to go with the Chevy. Thanks, John.

The Ford styling appeals to me just slightly more than the Chevy. I drove a '59 Meteor 2dr. (Canadian model) back in the day and loved it so that may be the difference. The Plymouth is a nice car for sure but IMO the grille doesn't compare to the others.

Plymouth please, Ford second, Chevy if I lived in a cartoon world.

I’ll go with the Ford. My family briefly had the Chevrolet in1959. Those tail fins combined with a light rear end made it quite unstable in Winter cross winds. We changed to a 1959 Pontiac later that year and found it much more stable. Still, Chevy second for looks and Plymouth last.

Plymouth, Chevrolet, Ford. I loved the beautiful 57 Ford but by 59 I thought Ford had lost it's appeal.

OMG! Welcome back John! My wife and I have been in "Which One?" withdrawal during your hiatus.
And THANKS for a good one for your return. I've got to go with the CHEVROLET! That "Batmobile" (only in White) was my very first car back in 1968. I'll go with the Ford second and the Plymouth third.

David, "those tail fins combined with a light rear end" were exactly what I loved and had fun with when I owned my '59 Chevy Impala back in 1968. I'd go out on the old country hilly roads of Cottage Grove, MN where I lived at the time, open that baby up to 80 or 90 miles per hour and that rear-end felt like it was taking flight! LOVED IT! And I think those "Bat-Fins" were really the beauty of the car. I'd love to have it today!

I like them all but that Plymouth wins out just barely over the Ford Galaxie and Impala.

Chevy for me ! My Dad had an Impala in white with the blue multi colored interior and I loved that car.
I wish I had it today...

I'm going with the Plymouth since I had a Sport Fury Convertible back in the day. Here is a pic (below) of what it looked like thanks to the enhancements by Marty Johnson. The Chevrolet and Ford are in a tie for 2nd place.
