Tough choice today! The pictured Packard's color combo is very flattering, but I voted for Imperial for overall styling, enhanced by the crisp white paint!

The Packard is a nice looking and colorful car but no match for the styling of my fave year Imperial.

I love the '55 and '56 Packard's, but that Imperial is just elegant. Newport for moi!

It seems the Packard is all mine. I'll take it.

@moe-parr LOL, the white paint was the first distraction for me.  As you know, I'm not a white car fan even a little bit.

Without much hesitation at all, I chose the PACKARD!  The "three-tone" color scheme is a killer!  Love it!

Imperial for me.  But I do like the Packard.

Yet another in a long string of tough choices. I'm going with the Imperial because one of us owns one! 😉 Otherwise, I'd never be able to decide.

I know, I know, I'm prejudiced but I have spent more time on this decision than I would have ever thought. It is very difficult to go up against the Packard name and the reputation that name had meant throughout it's very long  existence. On the other hand, the Imperial also had an excellent reputation throughout it's existence. Based strictly on style, I feel the Imperial is the more sleek of the two with a better look to the future rather than the past.

Both are beautiful luxury cars. The bright white Imperial gets my vote!

Gents, thanks for your responses.
