I find the front of the Lincoln more appealing!

Unexpectedly as I am a fan of Packard, I picked the Lincoln this time. It looks so balanced.

Love the hot rod Lincoln. Great looks, terrific power, and a race winner.

Not my favorite year for either marque but I like both cars. The Lincoln by 3 points!

I'm with Tony, but only by 1 point. 😀

Being a former 1954 Lincoln owner.... this is a no brainer for me. 1952-'55 Lincolns were wonderful, well-built cars (that had GM transmissions '52-'54 ) And the battery location was a PITA!! 🤨 😐

Upon seeing both cars, my immediate thought was, "How fast can I type no-brainer" for the LINCOLN? The Packard is old looking, stodgy, and bulbous in comparison.

I guess I am the only weirdo. I prefer the nose of the Packard. Otherwise they are pretty close identical.

Lol, your not a 'weirdo' John.
You just have 'different' tastes in automotive styling. ☺️

Lincoln for me. While i loved the Carribean for 53 and 54, I never cared for the too busy grill

I voted for the Packard this time as IMHO the nose of the Lincoln is kind of plain looking and has those plucked eyelashes.

Both are beautiful ! I have treasured 1/18 diecasts of the 1953 Packard Caribbean and a convertible-modified 1952 Lincoln.
