Although I’ve submitted a schwack of photos of that ’57, I really do prefer the overall look of the ’56 Belair. The 1956 is a bit more reserved, more understated. It doesn’t have all of those rounded protrusions that make for the distorted reflections that I love. But step back and admire the simplicity of the design. Given a choice of owning either, the ’56 wins for me.

I've made a hobby of photographing cars close up. I love the distorted reflections in the chrome of great old cars. At car shows, I'm the guy sitting on the ground with my camera, getting the right angle on a bumper, grill, or hub cap.
