just wondering what everybodys taste was

Well since it's all about preference; then here's mine:

'55 Chev Belair 2 dr hardtop.
-Why?....Lotso' chrome, great body lines, egg crate grill. Perfect body lines for a street machine (if you ask me anyway).

'55 Chev Nomad
-For the same reasons as above but would actually prefer the original Waldorf Nomad; but, then again wouldn't we all like to have an extremely rare (no longer in existance) car?

'57 Pontiac 2 dr hardtop
-Not quite as gaudy (in my opinion) as the '57 chevy's. I don't know why; but they (57 Chevys) have just never done it for me.

'58 Chevy Impala
- I liked American Graffiti

'55(2nd series)-57 Chev Trucks
- Major bodyline shift from previous years for trucks. Trucks became mainstream as opposed to just something to drive on the farm. Great body lines. Don't care (as much) for the 58 and 59's, I just don't seem to like the front ends as much.

Can ya' tell I'm a Chevy guy??

Cheers,
Firechicken

'58 Chevy Impala
- I liked American Graffiti

59 Corvette

55 Chevies were the best looking cars ever made, in my opinion

You would'nt get any arguments from me about that....I've always thought they were the ultimate car of the 50's.

ummm?

I would take any '50's 2dr car from the american auto makers, I like them all. From the '50's on back they are all good, cars with class!
