Poll: Which '60? (10/24/2025)

Grille change and 6 taillights do it for me and that Thunderbird in white looks great.

@david-vandermeer This GM kid fell in love with the square bird when this Matchbox Lesney model was obtained.  An absolute beautiful classic automobile!

PS , This one isn’t mine, wish I would have kept it.

Two lovely automobiles here. I have that exact Matchbox Thunderbird and it has always been a favorite of mine

@david-vandermeer My thoughts exactly David; those detail changes in '60 really improved the T-Bird.  It gets the nod by the slimmest of margins...almost a tie.

@michaeldetorrice +1  I have it too Mike and love it....in spite of its odd color application.

I like the square bird. 

I should be able to look at the two images and decide on looks alone. I just can't. Both are cars that I love. But from a common sense standpoint, I know that if I own the T-Bird, I'd have a lot less trouble replacing aging parts. The Studie? Good luck. And for all the reasons that David V. gives; I'm going Thunderbird!

Thunderbird for me. The Studebaker is showing its age.

This was a lot closer for me than I first thought. When I was 18, our neighbor bought a square bird and I fell in love with that personal luxury car and the image is still as clear today as it was then. Thunderbird. Another fantastic comparison John.

Studebaker styling always left me a little cold, while I loved the square  Birds.  

I have that Matchbox also. I does add a fondness for the full sized car. I also had a friend who collected full sized Studebakers. I grew to love and appreciate them and the 1960 is my choice in this pairing.

The bird but I'd take that Studebaker in a heartbeat.

Love dem Squarebirds.🤑💯

Love both. The 4 seat T-Bird was a big hit and sales took off. Unfortunately they become plentiful on the streets. I'm going with the Studebaker because it stood out in the crowd.

Gents, thanks for your responses!
