I am going with the Chevy in this trio. Had the Ford been a DeLuxe, I'd picked it.

I had to go with the Chevy in this one.  The styling is just a little more pleasing to my eyes. 

Poor Plymouth, it might be the best car of the trio and no one is voting for it.  

I'd take all three in a 1:24 scale!

The 39 Ford is classic

On 2nd thought is this not a 1938 ?🥴

The Plymouth strikes me as the more forward-looking, with its fender mounted headlamps and tri-parti grille, so it gets my vote.

I'm partial because I owned a 39 Chevy Master Deluxe Opera Coupe. Mine had every factory option available in 1939 including fog lights, bumper over riders, push button radio, town and country horns, back up light, deluxe trim rings and vacuum shift which became standard a year later. The Master Deluxe was a great handling car with it's independent front suspension.

This is a difficult area for me. As they were before my time, I have a hard time differentiating between the different makes. I like them. But, to my eye, they seem very similar to each other.

Once again, hard to choose but I lean slightly towards the Ford for this period.

I like them all equally.  They are all great looking and the Ford drive train is best but not enough to place it above the others.

I vote Plymouth. I like its looks, and arguably better engineering.

So JK do you think the current line up of vehicles is easier to differentiate? Thank goodness I have learned the various logos of today's cars because to my eye most them look alike with model names I can't even pronounce. I suspect it's an age thing.

LOL, trust me it's not an age thing.  Telling one brand from another today is nearly impossible.  And not because of our advancing age, but rather because the cars today all look alike.

To many of us they do. But, to the younger folks buying them they are as different as night and day. They struggle with seeing the differences between cars of the forties and fifties.
