My vote goes to the "Suddenly it's '60" 1957.

When I was a small kid, I had a promo replica of the 1955 Plymouth and I currently have scale diecasts of the 1956 and 1957 editions among other Plymouths from that era. Gorgeous automobiles in scale or real form !

1955 in 1st,1956 in 2nd, and 1957 in 3rd place.

O boy! O boy! If it was a 1958 Plymouth the man and women in the commercial coulda been mom and dad. I came along early that year also. Naturally the 57 is number one. The 56 is next with its fins and then the more rounder 55. I look at those 3 years as Plymouth adding fins and smoothing out the style each year. So I went with a tie.

55,56,57. Plymouth went from fine to fins and the build quality went with it.

@bob-jackman Once again we agree Bob. I prefer the more conservative completly restyled look of the '55 over the very nice'56. I was never much of a fan of the next few Chryco years.

I'll just take them in the order they were made, 55, 56, 57!

1. 1955, 2. 1956, 3. 1957. The rear view gets me, much prefer the '55 and they got worst each year. The first Plymouth I actually liked the styling of
was the '65.

I voted for the '57 - far more modern than its immediate predecessors, yet still immediately recognizable as a Plymouth. A styling job well done!
