What remarkably beautiful automobiles ! They are stunners now and back in 1953 it would be difficult to have two more superb looking and performing vehicles than either of these.

Face Olds please.  Don't actually care for either one.  Would have bought a Hudson or a Mercury in '53 if I were old  enough.

Neither one floats my boat, so I have to vote no interest today.

The old Fiesta although it is the least interesting of the GM Motorama cars that went into production.

Flamboyant Fiesta for me.

I like 'em both,  but an ever so slight edge to the Packard.😊

Both are gorgeous! Driving up in either car would have you looking very prosperous in 1953. So close for me today, but have to go with the Packard because of the color which really makes it look so rich!

Great one today, John, thanks!

A couple of hefty cars here. I very much prefer the Packard here. Both leave a strong impression.

For me the Oldsmobile Festa failed to generate the level of excitement like the other 3 1953 GM Motorama offerings. So, the Packard Caribbean is my pick.

Gents, thanks for your replies.
