I would not want either as a current vehicle but I do have more desire for the Cosmopolitan which just looks cleaner. Thanks John.

A tough one for me as I like both. I have to go with the Cadillac for it's overhead valve engine.

I have to agree with David.  The Continental!

I like both for their completely different merits. But I always felt the Cosmo was trying too hard to look like a Hudson. Not that there is anything wrong with that! (Apologies to Seinfeld) I like the more iconic Caddy.

My birth year.  Todays "Which One?" comes down to which one looks sleeker and newer.  That's the LINCOLN!  In comparison, the bulbous Cadillac looks like an early Forties carry-over.  And with regard to Tony's comment about the Lincoln trying too hard to look like a Hudson, I've never thought that before, but the Hudson too, was so much more sleek looking than the the Caddy (IMO).

Had it had the eyebrows of 1950, I'd have gone with the Lincoln - I'm not of the 'less is more' school.  Cadillac

I'm voting Cadillac, but both lost the styling plot IMO.

I gave a slight edge to Caddy, but the Lincoln made it close.  ✌️

I like the Lincoln too, but the Cadillac exudes "luxury" so it wins my vote.
