I'd be pleased with any of them. But if I'm buying one to keep - give me that Vette please. Excellent paint colors, beautiful interior. Next in rank would be the Caddy, Chevy, Buick, Olds then Pontiac.

Cadillac - not because it's the poshest, but because it's the epitome of the 1950s American car, (Dagmars more iconic than '59 fins imo). Followed by Corvette, Buick, Pontiac.

My order is '56 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Corvette, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac. The Vette is nice but not quite ready for Prime Time. I love the Chevy and Buick, but that Caddy is a stunner.
