I'll take the 1954 Chrysler  which is very similar to the 1954 DeSoto that my wife was driving when we first met.

John, I'm guessing your "Which One?" today is for TODAY MARCH 13th.  You've got the 12th on the header and we had a 12th yesterday.

How appropriate for the question to be "Which Chrysler?" today, Moe Parr's birthday!

And George hit the nail on the head, the '48 Chrysler is indeed iconic, and gets my vote!

I like them all but have always liked the grille and tail end of the '52 best.  The '54 and '48 seem to me a bit like apples vs. oranges as they are so very different....but I will give them a tie for 2nd.

Me too, and for the same reason. Followed by the '54.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I think the 48 looks more Chryslerlike than the later models.

I like all three, but they are really three different approaches.  The '48 is still largely the '42 that wasn't produced during the war years.  The '52 was Chrysler's attempt to enter the post-war era, yet it still had the flat windshields and tack-on rear fenders of the '40s.  The '54 is just exactly what Chrysler should have produced in 1949, and it would have made Ford and GM cringe then.  My choice?  The '54, so that I can blend in with any crowd, even in a red convertible (and I know what's under the hood).

I'm going with the '54, the '48 is a close 2 and the '52 trails the pack by a great distance.

Voted '54 best looking, '48 in it time it was quite nice, and the '52 just have nothing for it.
