I like both, so it comes to the tail fin look.  Okay, I've thought about it.   the '55 for me.

1956 300B. The fins better suit its style, plus Torqueflite,  AC, and power steering available.

My favorite 1950s car.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Strictly from a style standpoint I prefer the 55. The advantage the 56 has is it's 12 volt electrical system and in this case the factory A/C. My vote is 55.

'55. I think it's a more cohesive design. Look, for example, at the front vs. rear bumpers on the '55, then look at the '56.

I like both of them. They are slight variations on a theme which I find attractive. A tie this time please.

Same thing, but it’s the ‘56 for me.

For me, it's the 1956 Forward Look PowerStyle Chrysler with Flight Sweep fins and Twin Tower taillights!

I've always really liked both years.  The '55 looked like perfection in styling and the '56 improved on perfection.  I vote the '56.

I also choose the '55 for all the same reasons the talented men before me chose it.
