It was all a question of STYLING. In 1955, all 3 big US carmakers came out w/new styling. GM/Chevy's styling was judged better than Ford's, but Chevy had a "Facelift" for '56, & a rather heavily restyled model for '57. I'm a '57 model, but I prefer the '56 Chevy styling... The Chevy was known as "The Hot One" in '55, the Ford put out their safety campaign in '56, & Chevy countered with "The Hot One's even HOTTER"... & outsold Ford by a Bunch... The 2 cars were, along w/Plymouth, Chrysler's answer to them both, pretty evenly matched each other in performance & features, but a lot of observers felt Chevy had the best styling, which sold LOTS of cars back then.
