Poll: Which '46? (8/21/2025)

Chevy, Plymouth, Ford. 

Love that awesome body style for the GM entry. Surprisingly, I love the body styling of the Plymouth too. I'm impressed by the lower body sills that take the place of running boards but absolutely hate the overdone sunvisor. Since it can be removed, I still favor the Plymouth for second choice.

Excellent "Which" to day John!

Plymouth, Chevrolet, Ford. Liked Plymouth styling before '49, liked Chevy after '49, Liked Ford in the '30's and after '51.

Same order. The Plymouth is handsome.

The black one...whichever one that is.

Here's my question, can you gents tell the make immediately without having to look closer? I mean, do you instantly recognize that one is a Chevy, the other a Ford, and the third a Plymouth. I must be missing some brain cells. Perhaps I was traumatized as a child. These cars are just a bit before my time and I have a hard time telling them apart. I enjoy looking at them, and I've had the chance to drive many. But as far as differentiating...

I've mentioned before that younger folks have a hard time telling the different makes produced in the fifties and some sixties. I totally get it.  

I like them all, but the Ford by a pube.😁

@jkuvakas   From the early '30's up I can tell at a glance which make most car are, but before '48 I can't tell which year they are though.  From '50 to '72 I know & recognize all the main stream American cars.  Never had an interest in non-American cars and still don't, although I buy Japanese cars in retirement, 2003 up..

@jkuvakas 

Not always, but these three were distinguishable.

Then again my first word was car.

Tie for me.  They all look the same.

@jkuvakas 

I'm a product of the forties, grew up looking at these and falling in love with cars! The late forties GM line look a lot alike but certain nuances let me tell them apart. The Chrysler products are much the same in their similarities but I'm not as familiar with them. Fords, too, I am adept at knowing what they are but not each exact model/year differences of some. I think it is because I studied them as a kid and everywhere we went, I recited what I was seeing and either mom or dad verified or corrected my recitations.

@jkuvakas I have no problem differentiating cars from the forties but cars from the thirties are somewhat more difficult for me. As to younger folks, I honestly believe they don't care one way or the other about cars in general.

These cars were still on the road in my very early car nut days so telling which brand is which still comes easy for me.

That includes Hudson, Kaiser, Nash and Studebaker, the Chevy intrigued me even back then with those extended fenders.

Surprised myself. Chevrolet, Plymouth, then Ford. Before looking and thinking about it, I was going Ford.

My Dad and two older brothers were into cars so I was able to distinguish most cars from the '40s and '50s at an early age. 

PLYMOUTH, Chevy, Ford in that order. 

Only exception to the Plymouth being perfect is the need for that "awning" to be removed over the windshield.  What a hideous distraction!
