For1957, Chevy vs Ford vs. Ply. Whats your favorite?

https://www.curbsideclassic.com/vint...-priced-three/

57 Chevy the epitome of 1950s classic styling.
57 Fords looked good
57 Plymouths were never my favorite. Note: In the mid 70s I looked at a 57' Plymouth as one of my first cars to actually purchase. The owner wanted $50 for it. I went to look at it when he tried to start it the engine seized up.
Other cars I looked at was a 66 TBird, 65 Buick Riviera Tri power carbs, 69' Dodge Charger just to name a few. Ended up buying a 69' Road Runner. Although the RR was not my first car, just the first one I bought. First car was a hand me down 65' Barracuda.

'57 Chevy FTW! Not even close. The question could be what's your favorite '57 Chevy model and configuration? I love the bone stock low option 150 two-door the most. Closely followed by a period correct Gasser. No resto mods for me.

57 Chevy all the way.

You could probably get one of the other brands a lot cheaper than the Chevy now though.

57 Chevy is a timeless classic. Not that the others don't look good but the 57 Chevy is better.

The Tri-Chevys (55-57) are some of the best looking cars. I am partial to the 56, when I was growing up my dad built and restored 3, 56 Chevy 210s. So I am biased towards those growing up around them. Sweet cars.
