Oh John; you're on your game here pard!
WOW; OK, I rank them all even. But before I declare my own three-way tie, I'm going to recognize a favorite feature that means a lot to me for 40's cars - the elongated front ponton fender of the Pontiac. I've seen in on Buick, Caddy and Pontiac cars featured in Bogart movies so there is no way I can not give it first place.

OMG this is a tough one! Like Tony I rank them pretty much even, with the Nash becoming much more attractive to me in recent years than it was previously. I give the nod to Pontiac however, simply because I am a life long fan of the marque.

Nash for me as it looks the most handsome. The color swayed my vote too. Mercury next.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Like them all but maybe the Nash the best. Tough choice.

Just about a three way tie but the Nash squeaks by as the winner by the smallest of margins. As Jack states above, the Nash has become a favorite over the years.

To my eye, the Nash looks like someone is squeezing its nose. It's a toss-up between the Mercury and Pontiac for me. This morning, it's Pontiac for the same reason Tony likes it.
