Poll: Which Dodge? (3/7/2022)

I went with the 62 only because my brother had one and it was his first car.  We had a lot of fun with it until we got broadsided.

I'll go with the 1956 Lancer, John. It is the most conservative of the three. They got steadily wilder in style.

56 for me.

1. The '59, I love it. Always have !
2.  The '62
3. '56

I voted for the '56. From '57 - '59, Dodge was the only one of the Forward Look Chrysler products that I don't care for. And the '62 is grotesque!

I voted for the '62. 

I like the '56, but if I have a choice between the it or the '62, I pick the latter.  And the '57 will forever to my eyes be an unattractive car.  Chrysler was the only car of their company that I thought rocked from '55 through '63 in styling. 

With regard to the '62, it was a car that, like the '62 Plymouth had to grow on me.  When they were new, I couldn't have been more grossed out.  But I learned young to "never say never", and in the case of that '62 Dodge and the Plymouth, they've grown on me. 

Today I absolutely love the look because it was different and radical back in the day and still is.  

56, not a fan of those others.

I voted full Exner 1959. 

Always liked the '56 styling, but not in love with it.  Did not care for the '59 styling but it grew on me after seeing the '61 to '63 styling the '57 to '59  actually looked good and the '59 was the one of the fined monsters I like best. Hate the '62 styling so I voted the '59.  

I really like the look of the '56; especially the tri-color so it wins easily (although I prefer the Plymouth).  The '59 is second, in spite of its rather overstated tail lights and fins.  The '62 is third, but close behind.  I wouldn't have said that a few years back but the oddball early 60s Dodge and Plymouths are steadily growing on me....I guess because they are so very different and the story of how the smaller alternative came to be chosen is very interesting.

Going with the '62 because it's so UGLY you got to love it. Of course, the '56 is to me the most attractive of the 3.

I actually like all three. I agree that the Dodges were not the best looking of the '56--61 Mopars, but that ''56 was classy and the '59 looked right at home as the 'jet-age dawned.  But that '62 looks light, fast, as otherworldly as a spaceship from Pluto, and seems not to care whether you like its whimsical weirdness. So it has my vote.

I agree with Moe Parr and voted the ‘56.

I really like them all, although I wish the original, full-size '62 Dodge S-Series had been done, as Exner's design was actually meant for that original wheelbase.
