They are all lovely 1941 automobiles. I have 1/18 diecast replicas of the '41 Plymouth and Chevrolet and several 1/43 models of the 1941 Ford.
I voted Ford solely because I like the looks of it best. Tie for 2nd
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
The '41 Chevrolet has always been a favorite design. Plymouth is a strong second and Ford third; much prefer the '40.
So I found this task a little difficult. I had to go to my model cabinets to help with this. The Danbury 1/24 Chevrolet is stylish, the 1939 Franklin World’s Fair Ford is exceptional and the 1941 1/43 Durham Plymouth is a real nice model. I have 6 in different colors. So my final decision came down to liking the hood ornament of the Plymouth, the grill of the Ford and then the Chevy which looks a little over dressed compare to the others.
While I have eye-trouble with Ford's extra beltline on the front & rear fenders for the 41 car over its 40 model, it still looks a little better than the frill-happy Chevy. By 1942, however, that changed and the Chevy looks better for that year. So for 41 I'm placing the Plymouth in the #2 spot and Chevy third.
I would have gone with a tie, but as I stared at the photos, I went with the Plymouth as it did not have fender skirts, where the others did and I just don't like fender skirts.
As much as I like the Chevy , I like the Ford just a bit more. I like the chrome along the fenders on the Ford and what looks to be a smoother side design.
Chevy 2nd, Plymouth 3rd.

@carsman1958 I agree if you are only rating the pictures, but I rate the 1:1 cars thus the skirts can be removed or not added to start with, same for the colors in the pics doesn't count for my selections.
Like Jack, Chevy, Plymouth, Ford.
Chevy for me, it just seems to have the most cohesive design. To me anyway.😊
WOW! For me, this has been the hardest "Which One?" to decide on. It actually came down to color, so CHEVROLET wins my vote. 1) Chevy 2) Plymouth (I like the grill) 3) Ford (liked the '39 and '40 front end better).
