Whoah! Might be the toughest yet! This evening I would pick the '56. Tomorrow the '57, or maybe the '55.

What JK said. After twisting and turning I've decided the 57 but I love all of them.

'57 for me. Especially in the 2-door hardtop bodystyle, the senior Buicks looked like "personal luxury cars" with that roofline treatment! I love the look of the '57 Buick Super and Roadmaster!

I went with 57 (roof line and tail) but like the front half of the 55.

Having owned both a 56’ Special and two 57s’ a Special and a Roadmaster I’m voting for the 57 ..
the body styling in that year while being a one year only application Buick absolutely hit it outa the park…..was Harley Earl still around then?🤔…..yes he was!

Always loved the 1956. It wins for me.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I much prefer the more compact GMs for this time period. I find little to distinguish the Buicks from one another. I' sure that those who like Buicks can find differences that are significant to them. A tie!

They are all very nice, but the '57 is my favorite Buick style.

The '57 for me too. Followed by the '56 thus relegating the '55 to 3rd choice. Nice pics John !

None of the above. Just don't care for Buick styling.

The '55 is my fave year for Buick this decade; particularly regarding the smaller Special and Century. All three years shown here are really nice though. The colors of the '55 shown don't do much for it at all unfortunately.
