1957. To me it's the first year Pontiac is interesting post war.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I still like the 56 hood bands albeit a call back to earlier models.

I find that the overall appearance of the 1956 Pontiac is more pleasing than the 1957. I choose it.

1956 for me but the 55 is by far my favorite.

'57 please.  The first Pontiac I liked the styling of.

I like the nose of the 57 much more; it's trimmer looking.  If the comparison was 57 vs. 55....I would pick the 55.

Had to go with the '56 for not only a nice outer styling, but also because I liked the dash better than the '57.  I know, that may seem weird, but I always liked dashboards because that is the part of the car that I would see the most when I'm driving it.  Smile

Loved the '55, the '56 not so much. My vote goes to the '57.
