Both unique and interesting. While the Hudson is likely the more expensive, I prefer the seemingly simpler lines of the Ambassador.

The Hudson a little too bizarre for my taste.   Nash 👍

Neither, don't care for their design and never have.  '54 the last decent Hudson.

Funny, because to my eye the Hudson looks simpler and cleaner, and it's the Nash that looks bizarre!

When these first came out I thought they had been designed by someone with a serious drug problem...I still do. My pick is the Nash because of the grill.

Hudson for me; I don't mind the look of it at all.  I find the Hudson to be relatively within the realm of typical automotive design for this era but the Nash always seemed very odd looking to me and I couldn't for the life of me understand why anyone would want one.  Now of course I appreciate it for being so unusual and for what it represents in the history of Nash; but it seems to be a sad ending for this marque.

Seldom do I settle on a tie, but in this instance, I've no choice but to give them a tie.  But that said, It's not a tie because I like both, but rather a tie because both cars are unique looking.  Even saying that I'm not sure they are unique looking in a good way.  Mr. Jackman above said, "When these first came out I thought they had been designed by someone with a serious drug problem...I still do".  Certainly, I'd agree that the designers of both cars must have been indulging in some funny mushrooms.  As a collector of 1:24 scale diecast models, I'd add both to my collection, but NOT the real cars.
