When comparing two heated rivals such as Chevrolet and Ford, it’s always best to find cars that match each other as closely as possible in terms of equipment, body style, and any other variables, else face the wrath of partisans who would claim an unfair comparison and hint at bias on the reviewer’s part. So for SIA #174, November 1999, Arch Brown pitted a 1934 Chevrolet Master four-door sedan against a 1934 Ford Deluxe four-door sedan to see which fared better in those Depression days. Of course, the two aren’t identical, particularly when it comes to chassis and drivetrains, and therein lay all the difference for Brown to consider.
