THUNDERBIRD hands down!  I was never a fan of the "frog looking" Studebakers.

I’ll let George have his fine Thunderbird. For me, I have always had a deep affection for the Studebaker Hawks..

They're both a little 50s baroque for me, but I prefer the Thunderbird.

Studebaker.  Never cared for the square birds of the late 50's.

It took me a few minutes to decide, I like them both. Back in 1958, I'd probably have chosen the Thunderbird. Today however, I have to go with the Studebaker.

I have always really  liked the Golden Hawk and the '58 T-Bird is not one of my favorite designs.

I remember these cars when they were new. By '58, the Hawk was beginning to look a bit dated. The T-bird was controversial but exciting. It was an all-new-size of luxury car, at least for the fifties.

The luxurious Thunderbird for me. Not sure these two are in the same class as I see the Studebaker as more of a performance car.

The Studebaker had been around since 1953 but it still looks good to me!

I loke the Thunderbird and never cared for gold colored cars so I chose Tbird today.
