Interesting selection John. My choices are Mercury, DeSoto, Hudson, then Oldsmobile.

Olds/Hudson then DeSoto/Merc. I thought hard about the Hudson first but went with the more familiar (to me) Olds.

1.) DESOTO 2.) HUDSON 3.) OLDSMOBILE 4.) MERCURY
I like all four, but DeSoto gets the nod for 1st because of the beautiful "waterfall grill". Then Hudson is 2nd, well just because it's a Hudson. The Oldsmobile looks really dated and the Mercury is just to chunky looking.

They are all beautiful cars, but I'll go with the Hudson, DeSoto, Oldsmobile & Mercury.

Wow! How different we are! The Olds looks more modern to me, then the Hudson, then the Merc, then the DeSoto.

Olds, Hudson, Mercury and DeSoto. I like them all very much but for me the main point of judgement was more modern styling.

1. Hudson [gorgeous], 2. Olds [alright], 3. DeSoto[even though the grill is the vertical which to me should be horizontal, just does not look right to me], 4. Mercury[I like the brand but the styling before '49 leaves me cold, actually before '49 there are few car stylings I like, I'm a child of the '50's & '60's]
'48 I like because I had tons of fun with similar after the Hudson which is in a class by it self.

I like the streamline look of the Hudson, Grill on the Merc, then the Olds and finish up with the DeSoto.

Olds first for its modernity, followed by Hudson.

Olds
Merc
DeSoto

Just looked again and realized why I like the Hudson Olds better, they look lower & wider which I prefer to the higher & narrower looking DeSoto and even more so for the Mercury.
'48 - '53 Hudson unbeatable and second in '54 to the Mercury. Never cared for them before or after. Just my taste. I may be a little prejudice though
Twin to Mom's '48
Twin to Step Dad's '49
Twin to Sister's '52
