To me the 1956 Ford had more pleasant lines. The fins look like add ons to the 57 and 58. Just a question of taste.

Well as usual, I like all three.  Thought it was a great styling time for Ford.  But I've always been partial to the '58. 

It's the grille and rear taillights that do it for me.  Plus, guess I was influence by the '58 when I saw them brand new at Peterson Motors dealership behind our house in 1958.  That was also where I first saw the new Edsel's.

Wouldn't these three Baby Blue's have been a nice Tri-Ford release from either Danbury or Franklin Mint?  I'd have been all over them.

57, 56, 58. The 1957 looks fresh. No wonder it outsold Chevy. I like the 55 and 56 too, but the 58's facelift is a mess IMO.

Oddly enough, Ford was trying to create some family resemblance between the new Thunderbird and the full-sized Ford. Look closely at the pics, you'll see strong hints of the T-Bird design.

'58 is #1

'56 #2

No drum roll needed for #3

1956 styling wins easily, '57 and '58 in that order.  I love them all and would be proud to own any one of them.  I know that many people don't care for the '58 as it is a styling departure, especially the tail lights, but I sure like the trimmed up Fairlane 2drht.

Bruce;  I had a '59 Ford Meteor with that hood and it really was a pain!  Lol.

Yes, love the '56.  Don't really care for the '57, like the '58 but please put the round '57 tail lights on it. The fins on the '58 don't seem as high or they just look better to my eye.
