Hudson, just like the wood paneling as done on the Hudson over the others.

I choose the Packard, followed closely by Hudson, Chrysler and Buick. None particularly benefit from the wood in my view.

John, you continue to make these decisions more difficult by the day. I don't know how you do it but it sure is fun. Buick Chrysler,Hudson, Packard. Incidently, I have 1/43 scale models of all four cars pictured.

Chrysler, Hudson; Buick and Packard in that order, but they are all very nice cars.

That Hudson wagon is beautiful...but I can't vote for it because it's a custom-built car, as Hudson didn't make station wagons during the "Step-down" design era. Nevertheless, I love it and am glad you included it, John!
I voted for the Buick, followed by Chrysler, then Packard.

I'll second that, George. Just don't care for wood on metal bodied cars and station wagons. Voted no interest.
On frontend styling/looks alone: Hudson, Packard, Buick, Chrysler.

At first, I was going to select the Buick, but then I changed to the Chrysler. The Hudson just looks awkward to me & the Packard looks like it went through the car wash & got the metal rubbed off its wooden skeleton…

If I were to vote only on the front ends, here's how it goes: 1) BUICK 2) CHRYSLER 3) HUDSON 4) PACKARD
