Of all the people in all the towns in all the countries, who do a "Which car..." you, Mr. Bono are the GOAT. NO!! Not an old or young goat, but the Greatest Of All Time.

No wrong answer on this one today. Buick for me; but I reserve the right to amend my answer, at any time, to Chrysler. LOL!

What Tony said but I tipped it to the handsome Chrysler. Thanks for the polls!

@perrone1 Well said Tony. John is certainly the GOAT and as Ed says, "thanks for the polls" John.

Just don't care for the Buicks.  Chrysler is todays pick but not in love with it.

I went with the Buick because of the Growl nose.

I have to go with a rare tie on these two as I like both very much.  I prefer the Chrysler styling but like the Buick drive train more.

WOW!  Another rare "Tie" for me.  Both cars ooze with after WWII beauty that America so appreciated.  

John, I echo the kudo's of others here.  Your daily "Which One?" questions go so well with my morning coffee and the start of a great day.  THANK YOU! 

And Tony, your pics of DM's two classic models make me happy I have both cars on my shelves.

While I don't participate in your picks every day, I am always thrilled to do so when I do. Thanks.

For today's cars, an incredibly tough choice, if it was '48. I'd go with the Buick (at least I think so) for these two, I'm picking the Chrysler.
