The '53 Ford was my first car ever purchased.  I loved them back then and still do.  The Dodge is great too but IMHO it falls short by comparison.

Despite my unfortunate family history with a very early Canadian Oakville factory 1953 Ford, I do prefer it to the Dodge. My father had a 1952 Dodge before the new Ford. It too was a bit of a disappointment both in ride and reliability.

I wish Goldvarg would do this Ford Victoria HT; their award winning station wagon was amazing!  IMHO it would be an immediate sellout.  I must add however that the ones with the faux continental kit effect make me shudder....I can't believe this unattractive "option" was ever popular.

Ford all the way. whoever repaired the front clip on the Dodge didn't have much of an eye for matching the paint.

FORD ALL THE WAY!  Looking at the voting, I've a feeling this one will be Ford for everyone.

1953 Ford was my first car!  Paid $50.00.  I was 14 so had 2 years to fix it up.

My dad bought a brand new ‘53 Ford Ranch Wagon. Many memories in that car. Drove it until 1959.
