Lot to like about both but slight edge to the 57 roof lines and rear.  I still prefer the front bumper of the 56.

Not my favourites for this era and I do have trouble deciding which was best. Tie, this time.

Each one is such a beautiful automobile, so both Buicks for me.

Without any thought at all, I vote for the '56!  To my eyes it looks newer and more modern than the '57.

The trimmer looking '57 beats the bulgy looking '56 in my eyes.

The 1956 Buick is my favorite of the decade. It wins.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

djtusn, Only the Special and Century had the three piece back window in 1957...the Roadmaster and Super did not.

I am a big fan of both of these fine Buicks but slight edge to the 56.

I prefer the styling of the 57 in Roadmaster version; otherwise it's a tie.

Love both but the leaner looking '57 gets my pick.

I'd really rather have the '56.  The first car I rode in with factory a/c was a Dover White and Harvest Yellow 1956 Buick Century Riviera coupe.  It was 1959.

Wouldn't YOU really rather have a Buick?  When better cars are built, Buick will build them!
