For me the '58 is #1 because it's so outrageous. Next comes the '59, then the '60 by the closest of margins.

The 1958 definitely caught my attention. I have little interest in the other two.

I didn't figure the '58 would get any votes when up against the other two. For me, it's THE 59! Followed by the '60 with the '58 bringing up the rear. To my eyes, the '59 is the best looking car from the Big Three for that year. The slanted headlights, classic "Bat-Fin" rear-end, and a most beautiful dashboard, make it a 5 Star classic.

I’m going 59, 60, 58 👍👍👍. All three are very cool but that 59 front end is fierce. 😤

For me 59, 60, 58. Love the fins on and the slanted headlights on the 59.

The '59 is my top choice, no contest-no thinking. Now for the other two, I went back & forth as to which one I would go with. I finally decided '58 then '60. The '58 because it's so outrageous, the 60 is nice, but to be honest, is kind of bland next to the other two.

'58 too butt ugly for me. '59 too far out for me. '60 my favorite full-size Buick, elegant & rich looking without the customary large vertical grill & the giant check mark trim down the side..
