Poll: Which Plymouth? (7/26/2023)

Difficult decision between 56 and 57. Despite its beauty, I'm placing the 57 second because of its reputation for poor build quality.

While I slightly prefer the looks of 1957, I prefer the actual vehicles of 1955 and 1956 for their drivability. I'm going with a tie here. I much prefer Chevrolet during this time however and would ever buy one of these Plymouths.

Strictly from style alone, 57,55,56.

I prefer the more understated look of the '55 by a narrow margin over the '56.  The '57 design is nice but pales in comparison.

Voting '55 because of the rear view over the '56 otherwise they would be a tie. Just don't care for the '57.

All beautiful Plymouths and "Stars of the Forward Look" at Chrysler !  Signature makes a very nice 1/32 1956 Plymouth Belvedere in those same colors.

'57 without a moment's hesitation. One of the cleanest cars of the 1950s.  The crooked side spear of the 55/6 has always left me confused. On that point, if somebody would explain the difference between the present '56 and the '56 Savoy, with less exuberant side treatment, I'd be grateful.

'57 is my choice.

Thanks John.

I chose the 57 for looks now but was always a fan of the 55, particularly for the tail lights treatment.  👍

Without hesitation, my vote goes for the '55.  Plymouth's after '55 to my eyes were a progression of fins too high and odd shapes and spheres on them until 1960.  Then finally in '61 they returned to beauty!  The '62's had a lot in their styling, but over the decades they've grown on me.  From '63 through '65, I thought Plymouth nailed it on looks.  

Going with the '57 based on its sleek design, while the '56 comes in second.
