Very close to a tie in my book. But for some reason, I still enjoy the more solid look and styling of the Styleline a touch more. Both look good in these color combos - excellent job John!!

Ford for me. Terrific looks, great power. The Chevy is great too... I came home from the hospital in ours after my birth.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I vote Ford, like both but love those tailights on the Ford. 👀

I had a '51 Ford hardtop, loved it, abandoned it in a field when we shipped out. I never went back to Texas. First Ford I loved, I liked the Chevy styling though, in '52 I would have chosen the Chevy, '53 to '56 would have been a Mercury.
Not my car, but a twin.

At this point, the ford was solidly in the fifties. The Chevy was a great design but still had one foot in the forties.
Great colors, John!

The great smooth lines of the Ford make this one the winner. Never liked the bumped out tire wells on the GM Vehicles.

Love the power train and better handling of Ford in the early 50s. My father had this Ford and the 53 but switched to Chevrolet in 55.

I have always liked 51/52 Chevies styling but the Ford wins out for the drive train. The dashboard on the 51 Ford is terrific as well.

Love both but it's the Chevrolet for its build quality.
