I prefer the cleaner styling of the Hudson; Buick looks chunky by comparison.

The Hudson for 1948 to 1953 are awesome cars. I 'd take one of them over just about anything except maybe a Packard.

The Hudson was a much superior car during this period to my mind.

I really like the Buick but the "Step-down" Hudsons are superbly styled and engineered, and the winner for me today.

There was a time; '48 to '53 when certain U.S. manufacturers (Hudson, Ford) were offering a cleaner, up-scaled European ponton body which is arguably more modern and attractive than the heavily sculpted G.M. offerings. However, G.M. won the day and set the style for the decade. I would have the Hudson, but give Buick the gold star for 'answering the question correctly'!

I'd really rather have the big, bold Buick.

Perhaps the newly revised slogan should be, "When better SUVs are built, Buick will build them."
