I'm going with the sleek and clean Hudson.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

@ed-glorius As much as I like Buicks, The Hudson looks fantastic. Hudson.

On the tippy top of your game today John. A curve ball when we were expecting a slider.

OK; normally I would have thought that I would pick a Buick for 1950. But the four door favors the Hudson in this configuration. Hudson for moi!

To me, the Hudson looks like a young tough wearing a hoodie. I'll take the more stately and sophisticated Buick.

This "Which One?" made me think a little.  I've always loved the "toothy" grill of the '50 Buick, as it looks like it could just crunch cars in front of it up and removing them from the road.  But in this "four door" version, I don't care for the top styling. 

While on the other hand, the Hudson's "four door" top styling flow better front to back and gives it a sleek look.  Not to mention, it's a Hudson, and I've got a real soft spot for their styling from '49 to '51. 

So friends, I vote HUDSON for the win!

Hudson '48 to '54 can't be beat. A couple of ties maybe but not beat.

Just don't care for Buick styling.

Not my favorite year for Hudson styling but I like it's comparatively clean design.  Although I do now  after many years appreciate it, the Buick is a unique one year styling venture; quirky and fun but kind of gimmicky.  Hudson gets the nod today.

I voted for the Hudson.  It’s sleek.  The top of the Buick looks odd and the back looks jacked up a bit

I'm a long-time Buick fan going with the streamline Hudson.

Gents, thanks for your responses.

The "Step-down" Hudson was a truly fantastic design, not only in styling but in driving dynamics. One of my all-time favorite cars!
