I’ll go the Cadillac with that Imperial placing second.  3 automotive royalty.

1) LINCOLN  2) Cadillac  3) Imperial 

For me, this is really a no-brainer, as the Lincoln to my eyes is light years ahead of the other two stodgy and old looking elephants.

All are too big but the Lincoln has a certain appeal. The Cadillac would be my last choice.

Cadillac is a clear winner, Imperial second and Lincoln third.

I'll give my vote to the understated elegance of the Imperial.

Cadillac is setting future styling trends (for better or worse), but I prefer the Lincoln (first choice) and Chrysler Imperial as the finest of 1951.

Lincoln 1st, it gets my vote for being so smooth and sexy looking.

I like the other two, but they definitely got the bloated look going on.

Imperial 2nd, then Cadillac.
