I actually like both years a lot. But when pushed for which style and year I like the best, the '56 wins out. I always thought with the side-sweep chrome and two-tone color schemes, it had a customized look to it.

1957. Why not go full tilt? Love its outre style. Oh, and pink and black? Perfect.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The 56 has cleaner lines and an overall much more friendly look that I find particularly attractive.

Today, I want to be noticed. So I'm going with the '57. A perfect color too, what's not to like.

The 56 by far for me. The 57 thru 59 Mercury styling just does nothing for me, but 60 onward sure does.

Back in the day it would have been the '57, today it's the '56.

I’ve always liked the ‘57 Mercury taillight treatment but the ‘56 wins out of these two.

The 56 is a handsome car but the 57 is outlandish...I'm going for outlandish this time.
