The '57 Ford, for nostalgic reasons. I had a two-door '57 Ranch Wagon that I had to leave behind when I went off to school. It was with this car that I began my love affair with estates and shooting brakes, even if it was on a rather modest scale. It had its original six-cylinder engine, but the previous owner had installed a three-speed Hurst shifting unit in the car, which made it somewhat of a 'hot rod' in the eyes of a teenager.

Love both...going with the '56 for sentimental reasons. My Dad bought a new '56 Fairlane Town Sedan in the same colors as the '56 in the original post...Bermuda Blue and Diamond Blue. This was the first car I ever drove.
Gents, thanks for your responses.
