Both nice cars but I prefer the more subdued fins go the 1959.

I can't quite put my finger on why, but the '59 Ford just irks me.

I really love both of them and wouldn't turn either down, but if a choice has to be made, it would be the '57. It speaks to me a slightly stronger voice. It comes together perfectly.

Gotta go with the classic styling of the 57’’ actually owned a 58” Skyliner and preferred both over the 59 ...

The 57 is sharp and “cool” looking.

I'm with Larry here. '57 over the '59 but for me, the '58 trumps them both.

'57 please.  Or for my taste the '57 with the '58 front with the '58 side trim. Just don't care for the '59 and never have.

When these were new, I looked at them but just continued driving my 1956 Plymouth Belvedere hardtop.  A buddy had a '57 very much as the one picture above, and it was nice.  The '59 always seemed a bit of a clunker to me.  But what did I know. . .   The prettiest car at that time that I came into contact with was a '36 Cord, and I only got to look at it.

Okay, I voted for the '57.  But I like the '59 too.  And I really, really loved the '58.  So if it was between those three years, '58 gets the nod.  Moving beyond '59, I liked the '60 a lot, but only in the top models.  As a Plain Jane, it didn't excite me.  Same for the '61...didn't like.  Loved the '63's and '64's.

@moe-parr   Maybe because it is an air-pusher.

57, 58 and 59 in that order. I think Ford got it just right for 57 which is why it outsold Chevy IMO.

The '57 but without the skirts and continental kit.

Agree. I like the 1959, but of this three year group, to me 1957 always wins.
