The Studebaker is an iconic design that certainly did not follow the mainstream. I have to pick it.

As iconic as the Studebaker is, I always liked the early 50s Chevy.

Studebaker just because it so different. It makes a statement and demands to be noticed.

Studebaker is definitely different just like the Edsel and I don't care for different, Chevrolet please.

The Studebaker speaks to my heart more than the Chevy does to my head.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The very unique-looking Studebaker!

Funny, I got one just this past week in 1/43 from American Excellence at their 60% off sale.

Studebaker, without a doubt.   But back in 1950 the Studebaker was kind of laughed off as a car dreaming of being an airplane.

Chevy by a mile.  Studebaker is a funky style and kind of cool but is nowhere near as attractive.

The STUDEBAKER because it's not the ordinary car of the era, or any other era for that matter.  With its strange looks it was a car that people noticed before they say any other car on the road or in a parking lot.

This poll surprised me. 

I've discovered that my tastes have changed over they years.

I wonder how many of you that voted for the Studebaker would have bought one back then.

Love them both, but for me it's the Chevrolet.
