None of these do much for me, but I voted Lincoln. They're all too bulbous for my taste. 


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

We John you did it again. I cannot pick a clear winner from these three so I have to vote tie. Anyone of these would be welcome in my garage.

A little too bulky for my tastes but Packard, Hudson, then Lincoln.

For me, these bathtub designs never really thrilled me. But, I have to admit, the Lincoln has been growing on me...some. If I had to pick one, though, I would go for the Packard. Their interiors were DDG. All the interiors were great. The Hudson has beautiful woodwork but the dash is just a bit too odd for my taste.

Tough one and I surprised myself, as I voted for the Lincoln over the Hudson.  The Packard, though I like it, after looking it in comparison to the other two, wasn't even the running.  And as I type this, I honestly could do a flip-flop between the Lincoln and the Hudson.  Both are classic lookers of the era.

Love the interior comparisons John!  I've often noted that dash boards can be a deciding factor for me on some cars, as once we own and drive a car, it's the dash we see the most of, so for me, it has to be pleasing to my eyes.  Of your three, I agree the Packard is the best.

Though I agree with you about all three being bulbous, to my eyes it's the Packard that's the elephant in the room.

I prefer the grille and trim of the later Hudson over this one but IMHO it is by far the best of these three.  Packard second and Lincoln third.

I'll vote for the "Step-down" Hudson again today, followed closely by the Lincoln, with the "pregnant elephant" Packard third.
