I went Ford because it looks right. Apparently they're worth a fortune these days too, so I could sell it for something I might rather. 

Chevy next.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

John, you're brilliant sir! For different year models, totally different results.

But for the year involved here, 1948, I literally HAVE to go with the Chevy. Most other years, I am a die-hard Ford fanatic. But for the semi=upscaled year of '48, I cannot look past a couple points. Look at those ponton front fenders. Then, look at the exquisite and DIFFERENT woods. Two different colors/species of wood. 

Ford & Plymouth for '48; tied for 2nd place.

Well myself, never being a fan of Woody Wagons, I just decided to go with a TIE today.  I think they all close enough alike to not choose over the other.  I never understood why people wanted "Wood" on their cars.  I know it was a fad for the times, but it wasn't for me.

Three beautiful wagons. My pick is the Ford with Chevy and Plymouth tied for second. If any were offered, I would be thrilled to have them in my garage. Nice comparison John.

They all look the same, so a tie for me.

Don't care for wood on cars or station wagons. 

No interest in the poll today

The Ford gets the nod for its leaner looking styling and drive train.  The rear of both Chevy and Plymouth look rather bulky in comparison.  The very rare Plymouth is second by a nose over Chevrolet

Ford, Chevrolet, then Plymouth although I would jump at owning any of these if they were in decent shape. I have seen many decrepit ones over the years with them very rare today.
