Another incredible choice, and, once again, no wrong answer. Both fantastic cars, great color combos and I'd love to own either one.

In my personal experience I have come to like the traditional values of the Caddy a slim amount more than the Packard.

I love the look of the Packard. It wins for me.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I prefer the Cadillac because of the size of it's Dagmars.

Much prefer the square styling of the Packard.

When it comes to Dagmars some are too big and some are too small...I like them somewhere in between.

Can't pick one, got to call it a tie.

Took awhile to decide; tonight it’s the Cadillac.
