Imperial. The much lower hoodline makes it look a styling generation ahead of the Cadi.

I cannot decide. Both are stunning.

Chrysler of the two. 1958 just wasn't a great year for designs IMHO.

We all see it differently; I think the color makes this car. I didn't see it that way at all when I was a young man though. I thought anything pink, salmon or similar was hideous and definitely not cool; a shade for women and old men.....I guess that makes me an old man now. Lol.

57 & 58 Cadillac over Imperial for looks, except the ElDorado which I didn't care for.

I'm going, Imperial this time. Besides, the Caddy paint colour resembles the insides of a gutted sockeye salmon.
(Personal opinion)

It's funny - as kids we all thought Cadillacs were pink, rather like..

everyone thinks 1920s Bentleys were dark green. Neither case is remotely true of course.
