I like the simpler look of the 55 best but all three are wonderful. 👍👍👍

I'd take any of them. But, having to choose, I'd go with the '55 for the same reasons Frank did.

The 1955 does look the most pure design. I’m not sure that the port hole does much for the car. Like them all but 1955 most.

I have always like the original T-Bird best of all years.  The '57 is a close second and the '56 lags far behind because of the connie.

All lovely, but the 1957 looks best to me, plus it benefited from its evolution. Next up 1955 for purity, with 1956 last due to the continental kit.

55 for me for the reasons stated above. Three years ago I traded my 55 in Goldenrod Yellow to my dentist for his 55 Imperial. The main reason I traded was that it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to get into and out of the T Bird.

'57 please.  All three are great, '55 beautiful but so is the '57 styling AND the '57 wins by the dash, the part of the car I see most. The '56 is DQed for medical reasons, a Butt Wort.  If I was to own a '56, I would remove it, carefully saving the parts of course.

Dairy Queen? yum my treat.

This one was a simple yes on the 57.  Especially since we still have it in the family.

That is how I have bought cars for years, I try them ON before I try them out.
