Lincoln is just enough different than the usual sightings of 48 and 49 Caddies, however freaking gorgeous they be, I'll stand out as I cruise that big Lincoln with its top DOWN!!!

I love the Continental, but the post-war grille never really sat well with me. I vote the Caddy.

+1  Agreed.  The sleek Caddy styling makes the Lincoln look ancient.

The Cadillac is so much the future to the Lincoln's past. It wins.

Count my vote as a TIE.  Both are nice, but neither really reaches out and grabs me.

I expected to choose Lincoln but the impressive lines of that 1948 Cadillac grabbed me.

The Lincoln says distinctive elegance for me. Lincoln.
