John, you are HOT today! Incredibly hard choice. I'm betting most folks will vote Packard. A beautiful and classic beauty. Back in the day, my era homies declared it a "Daddy's Car'. But if you had the cash and bought the Cad, it was OK because it was an icon even then! LOL!
Loyalty precludes I vote Cadillac Eldo.

I voted Caddy but that Packard may be the better automobile. ✌️😎

Cadillac for me too. I'm not fond of the Packard's looks, and the Cadillac is the star of its era.

Great comparison John. I have always loved the 53 Caribbean with it's full radiused rear wheel cutouts but it plays second fiddle to the Eldo. The Cadillac was seeing it's final look in this body style but all of the details were refined including the dip sided sills and wrap around windshield.

Both too rich for my neighborhood, so I know nothing about either.
Just from the pics here I pick the Packard. I normally pick from the car themselves not the pics presented.

The statement made by the Cadillac speaks volumes. Big and brash yet beautiful. Packard is very nice indeed but can't compare IMHO.

Packard !!!! IMO, it shames that GM monstrosity. That GM looks like a fat, over bloated whale sucking up the pavement at dinner time compared to the Packard.

Both the Cadillac and Packard are such beautiful automobiles and I would be delighted with either 1:1 vehicle..... but, alas, I only have (but happily) scale diecast models of each car. When I hit the Lottery, that may change !
