The gorgeous Cadillac for the easy win; Imperial second and Lincoln a distant third.  Great color selected John.

I like all three and and each is beautiful in its own way. But the Cadillac is regal as it sits. A cloud to drive and fits the part better than the other two as an American icon of luxury. Those wire wheels are elegant, so is the color combo. Lincoln and Imperial tied for second. (Wonderful "Which" to day John!)

I voted for the Imperial. It looks more modern. I am not a great fan of 50s Cadillacs and the Lincoln looks like a tub.

No interest in any of them.  Lincoln, Imperial, Cadillac. I like the Hudson - Mercury - Lincoln look of the early '50's but have no real interest in owning one.

Imperial for me as well. It just has a subdued elegance about it.😊

Lincoln for me.  Love the nose and the smooth sides.

Cadillac. It looks the part of big American luxury. Imperial second.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

This was easy this morning.  LINCOLN without hesitation.  It looks lower, sleeker, and more modern than the other two outdated looking Elephants.

I've been sitting mulling over this for several minutes and decided which is my pick based on perceived value in today's market which could be a moving target. My decision came out Cadillac and a tie between the Lincoln and Imperial. I would love to have any in my garage.

Too big for me but I do like the lines of the Chrysler.

I love all three for different reasons, each in its own right are fantastically styled classics. I want to pick the Cadillac, but the far more modern look of the Lincoln gets my vote today.
