Readers choose top Ford or Chevy of all time

Ford vs. Chevy is arguably one of the most notable rivalries in the automotive world. In the fall issue of Hagerty magazine, we asked a panel of experts to weigh in on our March Madness-style brackets, which pitted some of our favorite examples from both automakers against each other. Over the past month, we presented a new round of voting each week in order to crown the best Ford or Chevy of all time.

The votes are in and you’ve spoken: The 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra eked out a win over the 1955 Chevy Bel Air, 51 percent to 49 percent. Incidentally, the Cobra also was the car chosen by our magazine panel as the best of the best. Thanks to all who voted!
