The Packard is patrician but the Cadillac looks modern and exciting. Cadillac for the win.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Two really attractive automobiles from 1941. I have some prized diecast models of the 1941 Packard, but the closest Cadillac replica I have is the 1947 edition.

Something I don't do often, I voted "Sorry, no interest in this selection".  I can say though that, the Packard is way too far out looking for my taste, perhaps if I was forced to take one of them, the Cadillac would be my choice.

I voted a tie for I’m not sure I like either.  Both are kinda big in styling.  Hate war but perhaps the slowdown in production during WWII brought manufacturers back to their senses.

Both are beautiful IMO. The Packard is elegant but the Cadillac was in it's first year of a style that was not beautiful but also one that exuded a powerful new look. Cadillac.

The Packard has that elegant and familiar front end and the promise of luxury status that goes with it. The Cadillac, each year going forward, is making the statement, "Standard of the World" and showing it in their glamorous cars. Caddy for the win.

1941’s too old for me but I would, and did, choose the Packard. I’m not much of a Cadillac fan. I pretty much only liked the ‘67 Eldorado.
