Happy Thursday and hopefully the week is treating you well. I’ll keep the Question of the Day simple. What is your favorite car from the 1950s?
Give us your take in the comments section. Like my high school history teacher always told me, “There are no wrong answers.”
My favorite? 1959 Chevrolet Impala.
1955 Mercedes 300 gullwing.
1950 Cadillac convertible.
1957 Ford Thunderbird
1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser
1957 Chevy Bel Air
HHMMM!!! Well, I think it would be a tie between 57 Olds Super 88 convertible, 55Pontiac convertible, 57 Corvette, and a late 50’s Alfa Romeo Guillietta Snyder. Those would tie for 1st place and at least that many more would tie for 2nd place. Yeah, the late 50’s were my teenage years.

Mine too! Blue and white.
1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
1956 T bird 312 fuely.
I’m pretty sure there was NO fuel injected 56 T Bird.
1957 Cadillac El Dorado Biarritz convertible. The car had everything Detroit could put on a car in those days.
1957 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop. I had 2 of them – both customized. One in 1959, and a cloned version in 1992 until 2015.
My preference is the 1956 Continental.
58 Chevrolet, 348 tri power 4spd.
1957 Lincoln Continental Convertible
1959 Lincoln Continental Convertible
1958 Cadillac Biarritz Convertible
55 Buick Roadmaster 4-Dr.
Factory electronic fuel injected 1958 Chrysler 300D, 390HP, total of 21 cars made. 392 Hemi, 1 horsepower per cube (close enough). This is not like a Corvette with a mechanical fuel injection system. It was not very reliable back when new, but, now, with 65 years of better knowledge, pretty simple to sort it out, and keep it original.
1955 Cadillac Coupe de ville
1956 Crown Vic
1958 Impala Sport Coupe
1957 Chev bel air 2drht. Simply an awesome automobile. Made a year after I was born and can only remover a couple of people that had one when I was coming up but I always thought they they were such a beautiful car.
57 Belair convertible
My 1959 Pontiav Bonneville was a real beauty with red finish, lots of chrome and really luxurious interior….my choice of the ’50’s styling…
My favorite 15’s car. So many great cars to choose from! I pick a 1959 Jaguar XKE Drop Head Coupe
I loved all the cars from the 50’s…55 and 56 Mercury, 57 T-Birds, 55, 57 and 58 Chevy’s, 55 and 56 Cadillac Convertibles,
but I think my favorites are the 57, 58 and 59 Chrysler 300 letter cars. They were the first muscle cars.
‘56 Thunderbird with porthole top. ‘54 Lincoln Capri or Mercury Monterey and ‘56 Merc Montclair in 2-door coupes.
1956 Ford Thunderbird Raven Black : Its a balanced of power, style, chic, magnetism, and charisma.

My first car: A 1958 Chevrolet Belair, two-toned white and tropic turqoise…bought from a retired GM employee, Frank Budzinski, our family neighbor in 1965-66. Loved that car!
1956 Packards, especially the Caribbeans or the ’55 and ’56 models with Electric Torsion Level Suspension. Thanks
My favorite cars of the1950s is my 1955 Nomad AND my1957 Olds 88. Sorry guys. Couldn’t resist
Ford Country Squire Wagon 1959
citroen 2cv
Love the clean styling ot the ’53 Studebaker President before the fins and ostentatious grill. Ford got the styling perfect on the 56 Continental and, finally, the late 50s Alfa Spyders provided both great styling and responsive performance.
Can’t pick just one:
1957 Chevrolet Corvette
1957 Chevrolet Belaire 2dr
1957 Cadillac Eldorado Briarritz
1957 Ford T-Bird
1950 Mercury lead sled. The best ever!
55 Chevy Belair….my first car.
1957 Chevy Bel Air convertible only car close would be a 1959 Chevy Impala conv.

1958 Chevy Impala
Tie: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 2-dr HT and 1959 Olds 98 2-dr HT
My 55 Oldsmobile Super Rocket 88!! Red and white, too! My colors!
1957 Olds Super 88 has to be the best of the Fifty s. I would follow that with the 1956 Ford Crown Victoria. Those are the 2 best looking cars from the 1950s!
My favorite 1950s car is a
1957 Cadillac Coupe Deville
Champagne Rose with a soft white top on nice white walls.
1957 Chevy Bel air 2door or 4door hardtop or 1957 Ford
That may be your favorite car but if you have one in your possession you had to steal it!!!!
’55 Nomad, ’58 300c convertible, ’59 El Camino
It is tough but my favorites are the 59 Impala convertible, the 58 Buick Caballero wagon, and the 59 Cadillac convertible. I bought each of these decades ago when they were cheap used cars. I hope my son enjoys them as much as I did and do once I am gone.
