Having owned in my family both of these, I find it hard to pick one over the other. They are basically the same with sheet metal and dashboard differences, both to me equally attractive. A tie is appropriate.

It would be the '56 except that it simply has too many accessories. Lose the extra chrome bits and skirts and it would be my choice. Sorry, but it is the '57 tonight.

I've stated this before, the '56 Chevy is the "middle child" in the "Tri-Chevy" litter.  In my opinion, it's the best styled of the three.

I like the '56 better than the '57, just not the one pictured above.

1956 for sure, but minus the doo-dads.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I voted '57 because I dislike the '56 over chromed look. Love the '55, like the '57 front clip & dash. Just didn't care for the '56 oversize grill with over sized parking lights & tail lights as well as the side chrome trim.

@david-green  David; I've owned both of these too.  I love them both but prefer the '56.  I love the 55 more than both of these though.  IMO one major styling advantage the 56 & 55 have over the 57 is the trim allowing for very attractive 2-tone paint application.

This is a tough one for me. I picked the '56 just as it sits with all the extras!

Another vote for the 56 as it sits.
