Very little difference but the styling of the 1955 in most attractive to me.

I'm not really fan of any of them as convertibles. But as hardtops, the '57 is hands down the winner. The best dashboard of the three is the '56. The best grille of the three is on the 56 and the best side-trim is on the '55. But all of them are cars that I'd park in my garage anytime.

I prefer the styling of the '55 by a hair over the '57. The '56 is third as the grille and trim and paint application isn't as good looking as the other two.

'57, '55, '56
A red over white '55 is the first car I remember my Dad 'n Mom having. I loved and was fascinated by the dashboard design !

I know George will not like me for this, but I am not a fan of any of them. I picked the 55, thought it looked the best out of the 3.
LOL, John, if I didn't like everyone because they didn't like the same cars I did, I'd be very lonely. We all have our favorites for our own reasons. It's simply the love of cars that provides us all here on the Forum the great conversations and friendship.
