Love the idea and exclusivity of the Pininfarina

Pininfarina looks sleeker and classier. The Fleetwood is gaudy IMO.

The Pinninfarina looks towards future designs.That wins it for me.
Eldorado Brougham
That was the idea behind the design. "Years ahead to always look current."
Pininfarina
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

PICs: IMO, the outrageous "Factory Fleetwood" looks more like a custom bodied creation while the
Pininfarina's almost pedestrian design appears like it was factory produced. The Pininfarina closely resembles the factory produced '60 Fleetwood in the 3rd pic.. Since I'm in the mood for outragous, I'm going with the '59 Factory Fleetwood.
