The '61 gets my pick for #1. Love its clean styling and the pointed front fenders which gives the illusion of moving forward. 2nd place goes to the '60 with its lumps and bumps design. The '59 follows the pack closely with its batman look.

This one was easy!  THE '59 ALL THE WAY!  The "Bat-Fins" were incredible styling, the slanted headlights, and (not seen) the beautiful dashboard.  Though the '60 is okay, all of the great highlights of the '59 were erased and it got glitzier looking.  As for the '61, to my eyes one of the worst styling years ever for Buick!  The "pointy" front fenders look cheesy on an otherwise okay style.

Sorry, this is a styling series that I don't care for. The 1961 is a slight improvement but a I do not at all care for those bat wings.

For my taste the 61 works for me.  The 59 and 60 are very cool as well.  That 60 color combo s exquisite!

For me it is very close between the '60 and '61; today I'll go with the '60....tomorrow it could be reversed.  I think the '60 is more elegantly styled and better trimmed than the '59.  I like all three cars very much.

The '60 for me too. Just beautiful.  IMO, it's a more handsomely styled car than ANY other in the GM line-up.

Tough choice as I like them all, so I asked myself "Which car would I most like to drive up to an antique car show in?" That would be the '59 so it got my vote.

59, 60 & 61 for me too. I used to not like the style of the '61, but it has really grown on me over the last few years.
