I really like them both but the Chevy styling is a bit nicer and it has a better drive train.  I'd love to see the Belvedere done in 1:43 though.

Both are quite attractive for the time but I'll go with the Chevrolet.

I have always liked the 51 and 52 Chevys but like Jack I would love a model of the Belvedere.`

I came home from the hospital in Dad's 1951 Chevy. Between nostalgia and that I like how the Chevy looks better, it wins.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I surprised myself on this one.  I voted for the PLYMOUTH!  Reason being it is much rarer and I'd love it in a 1:24 scale model.

Plymouth! That car just has a lively, cheerful, "jaunty" look to it!

A longtime Chevrolet fan going with the Plymouth because these are not often seen.

The way the colors are applied this car always has kind of reminded me of a saddle shoe.  Lol.

Chevrolet all the way. The Plymouth just looks too odd with that paint treatment.

Both are lovely but I chose the Plymouth because a man could always count on being able to wear his hat in it while driving.  Nothing was more important. 😆

No interest here, both look equally dowdy.  IMHO much post war mainstream styling was bulbous and dull. I guess it reflected the post war slump and sentiment. Some Packards, Cadillacs, and a few others had style, and the '48 Fleetwood and Hudson's Step-Down design set eventual trends, but stylists weren't unleashed till into the 50s.  Then Boom! I wonder what happened in America right then to prompt the sudden loud mid 50s styling?

They look so much alike, it is hard to tell them apart.  I went for a tie.
