!959, you are 25 years old and you just came into some money and decided to buy a new [American] car for your everyday uses, what would be your top three choices be, in the order of the most desired.

 

My picks;

Dodge

59 Coronet (1)

Thunderbird

59

Pontiac

59 Pontiac Bonneville1

 

PS; wow, '58 & '59 were tough as the styling was over the top in both years for my taste.

I refrained from the '58 thread. I don't care for many '58 or '59 American Autos.

I will venture three choices for '59 but would rather keep the '57 choices I made earlier. For 1959 - Chrysler Imperial, Studebaker Silver Hawk, Willys CJ5 Jeep:

 

1959 Chrysler Imperial Convertible
1959 Studebaker Silver Hawk
1959 Willys  CJ5 Jeep

Bruce; I am really enjoying this theme and your year to year progression.  I hope you keep it going because the 60s car choices are so attractive and plentiful.

Chryco sure had some fantastic looking color combos for their cars in this era.  Yours is a great example Terry.
