The 1956 has a far more balanced look to it. Headlights and colour bar on the 1957 disrupt its lines.

I am happy to have replicas of each of these years Ford automobiles. They are good-looking cars that make excellent models in all scales.

The '55 was so improved.  The '56 got it so perfectly right.  The '57 and '58 before the '59 started the downslide in styling until '62 and '63.  My opinion of course.

Both beautiful cars. The ‘57 is my favorite 50s Ford. So I’ll pick that one today.

The '57 was my high school car. In black & white, I loved that car. But '56 was my all-time favorite before that. I can go either way on this decision, depending on which one I look at first. Fifty-Six! (You're ruthless John - Ruthless!  Ha Cool )

I can see that! You do a fantastic job my friend. But I still maintain - you are without Ruth. No Ruth. Laugh

They're both terrific, but I like the 1957 more.

I voted a tie. I like all Fords up to the 58 and 59.  Like them from 60 to 72.

'56 the best looking Ford of the 50's followed closely by the'55. '57 to '59 just do nothing for me.

Two of my favorite Fords from the 50s. Having owned a 56 Victoria I'm slightly prejudiced towards it. The 57 Was a clean design before they began to destroy it.

The 56 has always been a favorite of mine.

56, by a large margin for me.  I don't dislike the 57, it's just that the 56 reached perfection.
