Got to go with Tbird, but other than the front treatment, the Studabaker is a nice looking car.

Back in the day the cool kids were drawn to the T-Bird. Today they may appreciate the design of the Hawk more than they did in the early sixty's. Sophisticated, sporty & demure, the car is now cool.
But I can't overlook the unique styling cue of that full-length ridge that runs from the tip of the arrow-like front end and culminates at the rear tail of the bird. I vote T-Bird.

This morning I went for the elegant and understated Gran Turismo. Tomorrow might have been different.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

For these reasons I had to vote a rare tie. That Studebaker is beautifully designed, cool and different than the others in this era but the T-Bird is a design I have always loved; 1961-63.

The Studebaker is nice, but I have always been a fan of the 60-63 T-birds, after the disastrous 58-59 versions.

Love both but am prejudiced by the fact that I own a 1/1 63 Sports Roadster.

Gran Turismo please John. A friend has this one in white. Love driving his but it would be even better in red.

I'm going with the Studebaker. I absolutely love that design. Of the bullet birds I'm only a fan of the 63 because of the sculpting on the side. I'm not a fan of the 61 through 62 at all.

Oh man, the last couple of days on these "Which One's", I feel like I do when I go to the voting booth for presidential elections. Do I vote for "icky #1 or icky #2"? I think both cars today are odd looking and I've never been a fan of either of them. So like I do in the voting booth, these last couple of elections, I vote for neither.

The only Studebaker I liked, '62 - '64 Grande Turismo. Loved the '55 - '57, liked the '58 - '60 & the '64 - '66 T-birds, dislike the '61 - '63 & '68 up. Personal taste.

The '64 T-Bird, IMO, was a homer over the bullet birds ! 👍

I had a '64 Bird and really disliked it..... IMHO it was an infield pop-up.
