+1. The Lincoln looks like the box it came in. Caddy is pure class.

If they were the only two cars available, I would pick the Caddy.

Tough call......going with the radically designed Continental.

PIC - Should have been the "Sixty Special" Cadillac since you used the top of the line Lincoln.

"Sixty Special" was only available as a 4 door and I wanted 2-Dr hardtops.

The 60 Special has a load of "chrome" but still looks sleek..unlike the 58 Buick and Olds. I actually like the 2drht shown in this comparison better than the 60 Special sedan. Either way, its definitely Caddy for me this time....no comparison IMO.

No kidding! That's what I loved about 1950s cars; so much change.
