Although I like the look of the Buick, my father always said Packard was the best.

Would have bought a Hudson in '49.

'49 Buick is one of the all-time great automobile styling masterpieces, in my opinion.

Buick. Not a fan of the Packard's styling.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Though I like the Packard, against the Buick...BUICK WINS!  I think the '49 Buick is one of the real beautiful cars of the era.

Tough choice this time.  The nod goes to Packard for being a bit more regal looking than the Buick.  The Packard was a car to cruise in and be seen in.  The Buick, IMO, was a car to have fun in, especially with the top down.

Packard, but it was very close.  As Frank said the Packard was a bit more regal. Funny but later Buick ended up naming one of it's models a Regal.

Buick for me.  I am not all that keen the bathtub Packards.
