The fresh Pontiac. The Studebaker is also gorgeous, but its bones are ancient.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

The Studebaker may have old bones, but I do too. Therefore, it is my pick. I love its styling inside and out.

I feel sporty today. Pontiac for me.  If I was in a more formal mood it would be the Studebaker.

Wow this was tough for me as both are favorites. Thanks for the hand wringing, brow sweating, heart wrenching tough decision for me John, Pontiac wins in a squeaker.

You can’t lose here. Both are great. My choice however today goes to the old bones.

😁👍💯 And a big thanks John, that gorgeous GP gave me a huge smile. If it were any bigger it'd wrapped around my head. 😲
