Both are really interesting cars John and we’re significant rides back then. I like both but chose the 1951 primarily because my father owned one back then.

Like both but I'm going with the 51 and the flathead motor.

I love the looks of the 1951. I have all of the Brooklins of this year. It wins for me.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I like both, have owned neither. But I think the '51 would be my choice.

I love them both but prefer the lines of the '54 (less the chrome headlight bezels). Of that era (49-54) I like the '53 best.

Not really a fan of either, but if I had to pick one to park in my driveway, it would be the '54.

Again following George’s lead, never cared much for the 49-51 styling…54 was a big step forward.

'51,I owned an exact one of the car pictured in Texas in 1964. It was well used but still nice when I bought it. I couldn't bring it onto the post as I could not afford insurance. I blew out the generator and second gear in the 3 on the tree, but enjoyed the heck out of it. 2 batteries and a charger were cheaper than a generator. I parked it in a field just off a back gate waked the mile to get to it. Wonder what ever happened to it, as I just left it there when I shipped out It was registered to me but I never heard anything. The engine, a flat head V8, still ran good and the body was in good shape other than a paint job and a complete interior, as well as the generator & transmission. Somebody got a bargain or maybe it just sat there and junked after a few years.
