Just like you John it's '63, '59 and the '61 trailing the pack, or possibly stick in the mud.

In this order: 1) '61, 2) '59, 3) '63. 

Nineteen-Sixty One for me was a banner year for good looking cars from Chrysler Corporation.  I loved the "reverse taillights" protruding from the slightly lower fins, to my eyes was a sensational styling look. 

As for the '59, I'm not normally a fan of the excessive chrome, fins, and odd lines, it wins out over the slightly odder looking '63.  Though the latter did recover nicely from the extremely strange looking '62.

'61 for me. Dodge was the only one in ChryCo's '57/'58/'59 lineup that I don't care for. And I can't consider the '63 a true full-size Dodge. Maybe the Custom 880...🤣😂

Put me down for the '59.  The other two just kind of merge into the mainstream of American styling trends.

The 61 gets my vote today. It has the look. The 63 is next, the clean look appeals to me. The 59 is way behind, i know chrome was in, but that just looks too “tacked on”

61 for me followed by the 59 and 63. I would love to have a 61 Polara in my garage.

I could not make a decision.  Like all 3 since MOPARS rule.

Personal opinion?

'59 - The epitome of the "fins'n'chrome" era.

'61 - Slightly odd but appealing "new look"

'63 - Just a tin box.

1963 for its size and incremental modernity. But that 1959 looks so good!
