Hudson in '48.  I still don't like wood on a steel car, just looks phoney to me even if real wood on the steel body.  Woodies to me were cars bodies made of wood. 

I've never ever been a fan of Woodie Wagons.  Wood on a car has never seemed right to me.  But if I were to be given one of these Cedar Chests, I'd hope it was the HUDSON and then hope there is not a Woodpecker infestation in my neighborhood.  

I am going with the Packard because it’s a Packard.

For those who may not know, Hudson never made a "Step-down" wagon, woodie or otherwise, for sale. This must be a one-off custom, a very well done one at that! However since it's not a "real" car, I have no choice but to vote Packard.

Very good one today, John!

Packard please. Metal with wood trim is not my favourite but both these vehicles have character.

Good call Barry!

Tough choice, but the Packard is too cool to lose 

Barry, you are correct regarding the Hudson...only one prototype was made. I have 1/43 scale models of both and vote a tie. Oh, by the way I love woody wagons...as they harken back to a day of elegance and style.

The Hudson for me.  It is long and sleek.

Just based on looks and not production numbers I vote Hudson by a country mile.  The Packard looks bloated by comparison IMHO.

I agree with Moe.  The Hudson is a

One-of-none step-down Hudson woodie station wagon to cross the block

I prefer the sleek styling of the one of one Hudson over the bloated Packard.
