I like all of these, but I like the Chevy the most.

Steve McQueen was always my favorite cool star. Since he drove this Chevy in his last movie, "The Hunter"; I an obliged to vote for the Chevrolet:

Good comparisons today John! My birth year.
This "Which One?" actually fooled me a little, as I really like all three for different reasons. Overall, I decided the FORD was the most modern looking of the three, so it got my Number One Vote. The only drawback to the Ford for me is the odd shape, with it being wider in the front and then getting narrower in the back, I just don't like that. But I like the Grill best on the Ford and the taillights.
Strangely, the Plymouth got my Number Two vote, as it seems a little more compact than the Chevy.

Ford for me on this pairing. I do not like the bump out tire wells on the Chevrolet or Plymouth.

Despite our 1951 Chevy that brought me home from the hospital in 1955, I'm voting for the Ford. The twin bullet nose makes this the best shoebox. Chevy next.

Ford. It looked WAY more modern with the shoebox design.

Ford for me as well, the looks and the V8 pushes it to the top. For me anyway.😁

I like both the Ford & the Chevy, don't care for the Plymouth. Ford in '51 [don't care for the '49 '50 though] Chevy like the '51 & '52 [don't care for the '49 '50 though very similar]. The difference a few trim parts make. Today the Ford, I had one in '64. I wonder what happened to it, I left it in a field in Texas, no second gear and the generator was dead paint faded but no rust, I left the plates on it and was out of the country for 13 months and never went back to Texas.
Twin to mine only in much better shape! Wish I had it now.

I like all three. Thanks for the challenge John. My pick is the Ford for three reasons, it's engine and the new fresh steering wheel and dashboard. The 51 Chevrolet has always been my favorite of this series of Chevrolets. If it had sound and I could hear it with a split manifold and dual glasspacks it would be my pick. The Plymouth is a nicely designed automobile but unfortunately it was up against stiff competition. Ford, Chevrolet, Plymouth.

Shame to say it the Ford got my vote. It looks like the engine on an airplane, submarine, or a torpedo. Next Plymouth then Chevy

It might be time for an eye exam if you think the Ford "looks like the engine on an airplane, submarine, or a torpedo."Shame to say it the Ford got my vote. It looks like the engine on an airplane, submarine, or a torpedo. Next Plymouth then Chevy

The Ford gets the nod this time for its more modern styling, although I much prefer the '50. All three are nice looking cars though.
