The Model A hands down in my opinion.
Model A has more class and style.
That's what I hate about wind tunnel testing. You get the efficiency, but all the makes end up looking the same.
Will the truck on the left be around in 100 years ? , And if if was , would it be as revered ?

I vote Model A but not a bad looking Chevy either at least not in the front.
Greta Garbo vs. Kim Kardashian.

The Model A would give me a good excuse to drive slow since I don't like driving fast anymore.
Somebody would rather push a Ford, than drive a Chevy.

The BEAUTY on the right for my money! Would love to drive that machine around for while. Sweet.
The reality question is "Which one would you choose if you had to drive it every day?"

One thing for sure. None of us would want a collision driving the Model T with any of the huge / very large vehicles all over the roads these days.
Very cool, that old Ford was state of the art in the day. Making cars affordable for the masses.

As HARD of a man as Henry Ford was, it has been told that he really cared for his workers unlike the owners of corporations today.
Ford wanted all of his employees to be able to afford the very products that they created each work day. Told he could not do it and have his business survive, he did it anyway. He raised the salaries of his wage roll work force and even made effort to lower or keep lower the costs of his products.

Only after they threatened to strike. The never ending pool of available laborers and Henry Ford’s desire to keep the production line working 24x7x365 all but killed the laborers. Maybe HF grew a heart but it was later in his life…

Let's stay on point, shall we? Don't veer off course; Kardashians and HF labor issues aren't what this thread is about.
I think it's difficult to have any sense of "better" between the two vehicles in the photo. I can't really appreciate the Chevy, simply because it's so common in today's terms; there's nothing special or unique about it. If you put an F-150 or Tundra next to the Model A, it would still be the same to me. The Model A is interesting because it's a survivor from an era gone by. My dad learned to drive in an old Model A, and I recall some of his stories, so it speaks to me in a way that at least has meaning.
100 years from now, the Chevy 1500 may be interesting for the same nostalgic reasons. But not today; not to me.

I owned a 1929 Model A Briggs bodied deluxe Town Sedan when I was in my late 20's It had been totally rebuilt by a meticulous engineer in Texas all the way down to the shock absorbers which were rebuildable and adjustable. The 40hp motor was incredible and delivered just over 20 mpg even at 55mph. I loved driving it even with its non-Synchromesh transmission that required 600 wt gear oil. Once you got familiar with it you could shift it without a snick. I sold it to a couple in Minnisota and drove it to deliver it in 1976 from Tempe Arizona. That trip went off without any issues. A well designed vehicle.
But but it does not even seat belts never mind air bags. 
I like the model A. It seems like all trucks look about the same in today's world.

Well … If you’d made your dealership swap to a black bow tie
