Things are back to normal for now. I suspect I was being hacked again. Someone or something was preventing me from completing this post.
'52 Cadillac or Lincoln?

As usual John, you have made a tough decision for me as I like both. I chose the Cadillac as it best represented the luxury class...it just looked more substantial to me.

Going for the younger, sportier looking Lincoln. 👀👍

The Lincoln for me. It looks much newer and sleeker in styling and not as hefty and dated looking as the Cadillac.

Lincoln for me too. That Cadillac just looks too bulky.

Lincoln for all the above mentioned reasons, Caddy too big & bulky.

Cadillac styling wins easily over the Lincoln for me. It is true that by comparison the Caddy may seem rather large and bulky but it is a full size American luxury coupe and certainly makes that statement. To my eyes the Lincoln is no more than a Mercury with a few cosmetic changes which, unlike the Mercury, make the nose look very plain and almost unfinished (see below). I think it is mainly the minimal chrome in the grille area and the "plucked eyelashes" headlight treatment that create this impression for me. I quite like the Mercury but really dislike the Lincoln.

Lincoln for me too for the reasons already stated, particularly its sleekness. I'm surprised it's scoring as well as it is against a luxury juggernaut like Cadillac.

The Lincoln looks more modern, but the Cadillac looks more distinctive to me and it gets my vote today.

The Cadilliac is a true luxury car, the Lincoln is just a big Ford.
