I've always thought the '59s look fantastic from the center forward, and like a cluttered mess at the rear.

#2, I think the base Catalina probably looks the best from a styling standpoint, with minimal trim and smaller oval taillights like on the station wagons.

#2, As time goes on, I think EVERYONE deserves a mulligan for 59' - 61'

Almost nobody got it "right" consistently across all models/trims

#4, 1960 DeSoto looks pretty much perfect, IMO.

I've always liked the 1959 Ford lineup, the 1959 Cadillacs and 1959 Chevrolets, as well (though I recognize the latter two are controversial).

Also, Oldsmobile's lineup looked pretty good in 1959 and 1960, as well, though 1961 was a down year. Buicks looked good in 1959 and 1961, though the 1960s were a bit "off."

#6, I like the '61 Oldsmobiles more than the '59s and '60s, personally.
I like the '59-61 Cadillacs though they're a bit too much for me. '61 is getting there but I prefer the '62.
'59 Chevy was awesome, '61 was decent.
I like the '59 Pontiac, '60-61 were a little weird.
Not a huge fan of the '59 Buick but I like it better than '60-61.
I quite like the '61 Ford lineup and have been gradually warming up to the '60.
I really like the '59 Edsels.
Not a big fan of '59-61 Mopars except the '59 DeSoto.
I don't care much for Lincolns or Mercurys of this era except the '61 Mercs. The Elwood Engel '61 Continental got better after its first facelift.
I'm cool with '59-61 Studebakers but have very mixed feelings about Ramblers of the same period.

#7, I'm okay with all 1959 Mopars, though the Dodge was somewhat overwrought. 1960s were good, too, though Dodge improved and Plymouth got worse. 1961 was pretty much a travesty across the board for Mopar.

I actually like all 1959 GMs. I don't find that a bad year for the General at all, other than Pontiac being a mixed bag. I think I still like that year for Pontiac overall.

I've never liked Ford's 1960 lineup, from any of their divisions. 1961s looked okay, though 1962s were a bigger step up.

I agree on Studebaker and Rambler. Rambler Americans of that time are cute, in a quirky way, but the Classics and Ambassadors weren't really lookers until '63.
