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

The Pinninfarina looks towards future designs.That wins it for me.

That was the idea behind the design. "Years ahead to always look current."

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.

Pininfarina for the roofline and tail end design.
