The sleeker and less bulbous looking LINCOLN for me with the much more appealing headlights and grill.  And it's a much better color than the non-color white Cadillac.

Neither are favorites, but, believe it or not, I still like both of them. Even though Lincoln resembles the inverted bathtub cars of the late 40's and early fifties; 1950 Packard as an example, it carries no character lines, styling wise. It seems to have melted a little in the sun.

And while the Caddy is big and boisterous, it carries itself in an air of classic elegance and appears big and bold. By a slim margin - Cadillac!

Not into luxury cars, so I should choose no interest but, the Lincoln pictured is GREEN, I don't usually chose the car by the picture presented, I choose by the model the pic represents. I do prefer the Lincoln styling over the Caddy though.  Vote for the Lincoln today.

For me the Lincoln.  The Lincoln is sleek while the Cadillac looks like a blob!

I love both of them and would be happy with either one in my garage. But for a choice, the smooth lines of Lincoln is far more appealing.

Battle of the heavyweights. To me, this one goes to the Lincoln. George describes my feelings about the car very well.

They are both magnificent vehicles and you would make quite an impression driving down the street in either one of these high-class automobiles in 1950. I am happy to have diecast model versions of this era car from each manufacturer in scale.

I like both cars a Lot but the Lincoln a bit more. The color on the Lincoln made the difference for me.

Bulbous is the perfect description for the Lincoln. The gorgeous Cadillac is my pick.

Gents, thanks for your responses.

This year Cadillac is gorgeous and makes an elegant statement but the Lincoln is plain ugly to my eye.  I love the Mercury though.....
