JAFFA Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Last week the -59 Olds finally beat the Vette (52% vs. 47%) And is now facing the -57 Thunderbird. My favi T-Burd would offcourse be the -60, but the -57 has more status as an American classic i guess. It is also my best guess of what a "stylish" car looks like. POLL ENDS ON TUESDAY. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWood Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 There is just something about that big 98 that says "I own the road". I like the T-Bird, but I like all the elbow room in the olds. It would be like driving a Cadillac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Gotta give it to the T-Bird here! While the '59 Olds has a lot of street presence.................The T-Bird gets my vote due to the fact that it was the last of the 2 seaters besides Corvette to come from an American company (Ford) until the debut of the AMC AMX in 1968. Also it would be one of the first postwar cars to be discovered by collectors as early as the early '60's. The Olds while nice............was a lot like the other GM offerings for '59 and not quite as distinctive as a stand alone model like the Thunderbird. Ya gotta love that top photo.........if that doesn't say "1957" I dunno what does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
