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!

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.

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.
