    To me the coupe roof looks traditional while the Tudor roof looks sleeker and, at the time, probably looked futuristic. I'd post photos of the two but I'm sure that everybody reading this already knows what they look like. Do you prefer one over the other?
     
  2. You are talking apples and oranges, coupes and sedans.

    I have owned several pre-war Ford Coupes and no Tudors, so I guess that shows what I like best. But I know what you mean about Tudors. I have gradually come to appreciate them much more. Maybe it's because the low look is popular now and the Tudors really look good low. Back when hot rods were raked or jacked up, coupes definitely had an advantage over Tudors.

  5. Something about the roof line on a tudor does it for me.
