Buick for me. I never liked the grille on the Packard.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Packard for me.Unlike Ed, I prefer the Packard grill, but more than that, the refined bit of extra luxury.

I’m with David, the Packard.

What beautiful automobiles ! Each is a real gem and I have both a 1953 Buick and a couple of 1953 Packards (Caribbeans) All of these are prized diecast replicas and favorites as models and as actual cars.

Packard. I always liked the '51-'54 models.

I really like the Packard. To me, it still has an aura of luxury. But the Buick is large, luxurious, and imposing. It makes a bold early-fifties statement about America, its cars, and the open highway. The Buick gets my vote.

Love the way you think John. In depth but succinct, deliberate and intellectually.
And do I say that because you voted for the same car that I did?

@perrone1, LOL. I'm good with that! We men of taste and refinement need to stick together.
