Once again, I have to go with the Packard Coupe, John.
ABSOLUTELY the Buick, to my eye the '49 Buick is one of the all-time styling greats.
Plus, the "pregnant elephant" was not one of Packard's best designs.
GREAT job on today's comparo, John!

Couldn't make up my mind. Tie. As Barry said, great comparo John.
I couldn't type BUICK any faster! The Packard in comparison just looks bulbous. As a side note, my dad owned a '49 Buick in the same body style. Likely that makes me a little bias, but seriously I do like the Buick styling way more.

The Buick just looks better. 👀. That Packard is a fine machine though.

Definitely the Buick,only thing the Packard has going for it in 49’ is it’s Name!
I prefer the more sleek and aggressive styling of the Buick. The Packard is nice, particularly as a 2dr., but is a bit bloated looking by comparison.
