I like both a lot but my preference is the 1956 version, especially the front end.

The dual headlights of the 57 make it for me!

My VOTE goes for the '57!  An absolutely incredible styling year.

Prefer the lower wider look of the '57.

What a difficult choice, I've seen both of these cars in person and they are totally amazing. I love both of them. For complete presence and WOW! I'll take the '57, it was incredible.

The more substantial-looking '56 for me.

I have always liked the 55-56  styling far more than any other years.

Maybe it's the color, maybe it's the fins, but the 57 is for me.
