Poll: Which Pontiac? (8/8/2023)

So close to a tie,but 1959 noses ahead because of its nose.

'59 '60 '58 is my choice. 

GM had some goodlooking cars that year my favorite being the Impala. 

Ford, not so much so.

 I will take them in reverse 60, 59, 58

'59, my all-time favorite Pontiac! Followed by the '60 and then the '58, but I do like them all. Pontiac really was a style leader for many years.

I'm also going with 1959, 1960 and then 1958. The family owned the 1959.

I love the roof line and side trim of the '58 best by far.  The '59 is a strong second and the '60 third.

This one was tough between the '58 and '59, but I vote the '59 as #1, followed by the '58.  I loved GM's styling for '58 and '59, but thought they got very bland and plain for '60.  

I like all three. Each design is very contemporary for its year but classy as well. My rank would be '58, '60, '59. 

Hmmm. I sometimes think the result of these polls can depend a lot on the photos chosen, including colour, viewpoint and perspective.

For years I've admired the revolution GM produced with their sharply styled '59 cars compared with the bulky, overdressed '58s. But in these pics the '58 looks quite low, sleek and attractive, while the '59 shown here (despite the wonderful grille) looks like a slightly crude tin box perched on truck wheels. So, greatly to my surprise, the '58 gets my vote based on the images shown (although in reality I would undoubtedly go for the '59).

For me, the 1960 model has no distinctive styling features and a very bluff, unimaginative nose, and its appeal continues to escape me entirely. But perhaps in the metal it was refreshingly clean and simple compared with the wild '59s.

The 58 Bonneville and Impala have always been two of my favorite styled cars. IMO when they came out I thought they looked like show cars. I agree with Jack's picks 58,59,60.

@graeme-ogg I agree with your comment about the pic angle and color shown.  I have always voted with my opinion/memory of the actual car and use the pics as a details reminder as needed.  This is of course easier to do on this side of the pond.

Well, in this case, I pick the Pontiac !

Pontiac has always been my favorite GMC division, these three are beautiful cars but don't rate the highest on my list of favorite Pontiacs.  Love the '57,  '61 - 64, like the '58 - '60, not interested in any other full-size.

I judge by the make and model and year purposed in these polls, not the cars in the pictures. Here I choose the '60 because it is so clean, almost a custom car with most of the edges rounded and the chrome at a minimum, no rough edges like the '59, '58 too much glitter. '60 Basic design, clean simple, yet a noted rugged presence. Voted '60.

Love all three. For me the '58 Bonneville and its sibling '58 Impala are two of the best styled cars for this era. 2nd place goes to the mean and lean '60. The tailfins on the last place '59 appear to be a last-minute addition by the styling dept.
