Man, all of them look amazing. If I had to choose I think I would go with (in order):

1. Buick LeSabre - I love the GM B body. The 1959 models are stunning, but they looked great right up to 1996.

2. Mercury Monterey

3. Pontiac Catalina

4. Oldsmobile Dynamic 88

5. Chrysler Newport

My grandad drove a 1967 Catalina. I still remember that car.

I like the look of the 66 Olds followed closely by the 66 Pontiac. I like the curvature of the Old's bumpers up against the fenders.

Now...what I'd like to see is either car at a typical classic car cruise night, instead of the typical Camaros and Mustangs,

I'd go with the Galaxie 500, but unfortunately it's not an option. I had one just like the one in this picture.



Second choice would be the Bel Air or Impala (Chevy offered four levels at that time), also not included. I had an Impala 4-door hardtop, and a Bel Air sedan that looked like this:

What I've owned that were 1996 full size cars;
1) 2 66 Catalinas, 1 was a 4 door sedan, 1 a 2 door hardtop and my favorite 66 model full size car.
2) 66 Galaxie 2 door hardtop, my second fav.
3) 66 Olds Delta 88 2 door sedan, this car was alot of fun, 425, L50-15's that fit inside the wheelwells on the 10" Craiger SS wheels! Loved that! This is my 3rd favorite fullsize 1966 car.
4) Buick even though I never owned 1 I always liked them for their pre1970 chevy front end design and the rear design I always thought was cool. I've always wanted to make a hideaway headlight set up for one of these!
5) The Newport was a neat car but I never owned one. I'd like too someday. It has that car customizers look to it even stock.
6) The Merc. I never was into their design, as it looked like what the 1960 Edsel should have been to me.
