I voted for the '59 for a sentimental reason - it was my Dad's all-time favorite car, even though he never owned one. I also think it's the best in this trio, the color really shows it to best advantage!

I’m leaning to the 61, although that 59 captures the space age look.

61 for me with its sculptured sides and floating grill bar.

Head says 61, heart says 59 for the same reasons as you. I went with heart.

Went with the '61 even if I don't care for the rear treatment, but it is not shown soo.  I believe the '61 is smaller instead of the oversized monsters of the '59 & '60.

1961 for me John followed by 1959, then 1960.

I like the look of the huge '59 but prefer the trimmer styling of the '61; a home run year for GM IMHO.  The '60 seems a bit bland by comparison.

This one is a slam dunk for me.  THE '59! 

The '60 is naked and void of any Oldsmobile personality.  To my eyes, the '60 was the worst looking Oldsmobile EVER!  A car couldn't have been more "Plain Jane"! 

But the '59 oozed with style from bumper to bumper and interior too!  The Dash was a masterpiece! 

Which brings to mind the only slightly improved 1961 over the 60.  The pointy rear fenders, have always been a huge turn-off for me.  Though it is not compared or pictured, the 1962 Oldsmobile was a HOME RUN across the board (to my eyes) for General Motors. 

So now back to my vote for today, the outstanding 1959,  WOW!  With the exception of Cadillac for 1959, GM gave us a unique line-up of beauties from Chevy to Buick.
