These are my three favourite Chevrolets from the 20th Century. The 1955 has slightly more sentimental value for me. I find it hard to choose between the 1956 and 1957 having driven all three extensively over several years.

The '55 Bel Air is my favorite car of its class in that decade.  The '56 is a close second as is the '57 at third.  I would be proud to own any one of them.

Not a big fan of these tri-fives but I do like the '56.

1) '56  2) '55  3) '57  I've actually come to dislike the '57 a lot over the last decade or so.  Primarily because at every old car show there are always several of them there.  They are not a novelty anymore.

I love all three, but the '55 gets my first-place vote because I had one. The '56 and '57 are in a tie for the #2 spot.
