We seem to consider the'50's & '60's American cars most stylish years.  This question for everybody; what is the ONE best design/styled car from each decade per your personal taste, not considering drive train or handling????

 

Mine:

For the 1950's

1957 Ford Thunderbird

57 Thunderbird  312 x 4 (7)
57 Thunderbird  312 x 4 (2)

For the 1960's

1968 Dodge Charger

68 Charger (18)
68 Charger (19)

 

I know it may be tough, but try to pick the one you love best. It is like trying to pick your best child is almost impossible but they each have their individual best attributes, in this question is for one attribute of cars, their looks.

Brush:  The black T-Bird is now in my brothers hands since Dad past.  Ours has red interior though and the solid top without portholes.

Bruce, this is tough to say the least. I took the liberty to add a '40s category so here's what I came up with. Ask again in 10 minutes and I'm sure I'd come up with 3 others.

1941 Cadillac Series 61 346CI 3SPD Sedanette Black a
1956 Corvette 23
1963 Buick Riviera 12

@sizedoesmatter I agree with the Vette and Riviera, consider the 49 Caddy

@frank Yes, the '49 could be a contender. Impossible to pick.

John Bono, All good picks. I also think the 1953 Buick Skylark and 1956 Lincoln Premier are outstanding designs.
