Thread: favorite cars from the 1950s

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
