The Packard is nice but I still like the Caddy more. Those taillights are a favorite. 👍

Those wheels alone scream 'status symbol'. The luster is still on that rose for 1951 - Cadillac for me please John!

Cadillac for me. I was never a fan of this era of Packard styling especially the too busy grill.

Cadillac styling is iconic in this era; I love this car. Packard is very nice too but no match today.

Well, I'd take either in my driveway. But I like the CADILLAC way more than the Packard from a styling perspective.

To my eyes, both grills are "busy". But I do think the Cadillac's is more attractive.

Packard for me. The Caddy, to me, looks overly bloated like it's a fat person trying on skinny jeans and can't be contained within its own skin.

Negative on both, just don't care for either.
'51 I'd buy

the Hudson! Or if I can't afford one I'd buy a Ford

Yikes! I was ready to vote for the Packard. Like most here, I like both. But when I took a second look, the Packard suddenly began looking more like a shoebox Ford than a Packard; I voted Cadillac.

Both are nice 👍 but I'd prefer the Ford. Thanks for the pics.

I'm going with the Cadillac, but the Packard is nice too.
