Caddy for me.  Its styling makes Packard look older.

CADILLAC for me!  The Packard styling looks lost in the '30's, while the Caddy appears to have embraced the new decade.

I went with the Caddy for same reasons as above; the Packard is elegant though.

The Packard. It has a more sporty flair, to my eye.

The Packard for me, with its retention of classic standards.  My uncle had one, and I have vague memories of it being under a canvas tarp during the war years.  It had the softest black leather seats.  It was junked sometime in the late 1940's.

Also thanks again, John!

Love both but the 41 Caddie is one of my all time favorite cars.

The Packard is gorgeous, but I would never vote against a '41 Cadillac.

1941 was such a great year for cars. So many 41s are my favorite. I just can’t choose between these two.
