Here's #1084 during a restoration a while back. Photo courtesy of the Beard Bros., the current owners. This was originally the Jordan/Texas car.
My choice for year would be 1956 as quite a few of the mechanical teething problems of the 1955 models were addressed and improved, most noteably the transmission and torsion level electrics. Also the build quality was very much improved. One thing many would agree on is that the front seat comfort was better in the 55s. But if you like the looks of the 55 better, go for it.
