A great selection! I'm going with the Chevy. I know some call it a cliche. But cliches become cliches because there is something so right about them. This is just right and has become an icon of the decade. Still, the Ford and Plymouth are close behind.

I've always liked the 57 Ford. It wins for me on looks alone. Plymouth second. The Chevy suffers from overexposure.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

1957 Chevrolet for me. Still a favourite despite familiarity. Ford next followed by Plymouth.

I like the styling of the Ford better than the Chevy, particularly the tail end but they are very close.  The Plymouth styling can't compare IMHO and its QC issues place it a distant third.

I went with the Plymouth.  The styling is so much better.  The Chevy is my least favorite out of the tri-series and the Ford, oh well what can I say.

I really do like all of them.  Ironically though, it's the Ford I vote for.  Reason being, there just aren't as many of them out there at car shows.  Guess that applies to the Plymouth too, but it was never a favorite over the other two for me.  And a tidbit about the '57 Ford is that it actually outsold Chevy that year.

Always loved the front of the '57 Chevy but the back leaves me cold. Put the '55 sheet metal on the back and have a perfect Chevy[much preferred the'57 dash over the '55] .  The Ford the hood opens the wrong way for me, made them a pain in the butt to work on. The Plymouth was made from old beer can sheets.  BUT I like all of them.  Tie today.

Ford and Plymouth were all new in 57 and Chevy got a new look. I like them all but Chevy wins..a 4 door Bel Air hardtop was the first car I ever drove.

Ford, Plymouth and Chevy based on style alone.
