The sleek lines of the Hudson makes this a winner.

The Step-down Hudson is one of my all-time favorite designs, and it's my choice over this DeSoto tonight!

Another vote for the Hudson.

OKAY, I vote for the "grille" of the DeSoto and whole car of the Hudson. 
Wait, that's not an option Schire! Alright, I'll go with the HUDSON! But I've always loved that DeSoto grille.

I'm with all the rest favoring the Hudson. It was all new, at least the body, and was put into production while there was still a shortage of cars (WW II caused) and a sellers' market. In the late 40s, these Hudsons literally stopped traffic!

No question, Doc Hudson for the win

The Hudson is just too nice to not choose it. I do like the DeSoto, just not quite as much.

Gotta go with the Hudson. The DeSoto is really nice too.

Hudson was an all new design, even had a curved windshield, but please lose those visors!
