57, 61, 59. And the 57, to me, is head & shoulders above the other two. I loved the fifties cars!

Great 'Which' today John - thanks!!

1961. It's newest, and gets rid of the dogleg windshield. 1958 next. 1959 is too big.

I like them all very much but the '57 is a clear winner; as are all GM cars that year.  The '61 is second and the '59 close behind.

Total agreement with Tony & Jack.  There is only one Olds I love, the '62 and two I like, the '57 & '63, don't care for the rest.

'57, '61, '59

57,61,59. That was fairly easy for me. Since I owned a 61 Starfire convertible I really became fond of the body sculpture so it was a close second to the 57 which was in a class by itself. The 59 was a pleasant looking car but not in the same league as the other two.

61,57, then 59. That 61 just seems to flow better than the other two. GM in 1959 was a low point for me, which I know is somewhat controversial.

The '59 is my first choice, followed by the '61 and then the '57.

@david-green David; I didn't like the '59 too much back in the day but like it very much now, in 2drht. form at least.  The '60 Olds was far less appealing to me than the '59.

@jack-dodds In the 1/1 world I’d pick the ‘57 hands down, in 1/24, I wish DM would have done the ‘59!
