Ford from this pair John. My family had both of these and both drove well. The Ford was more of a driver car.

I am very partial to the Ford as it was my first car, plus I prefer its design and V-8 power.  I like the look and rarity of the Plymouth in HT form as well, but Ford gets the nod.

Oh yeah; Fomoco for me too. Love the car, the color, the sunshade? Not so much. An easy fix but worth its weight as a collector 'option item'.

I like the looks of  both, but the flat head V8 over the flat head 6 makes the Ford more desirable. Not to mention the color here, GREEN.

Ford looks better and drives better. Ditch the visor, but it wins over the stodgy Plymouth.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
