Cadillac for me. It defines American luxury better than its competitors. I do like the Lincoln though, it's second. All are beautiful.

The Imperial, followed by the Cadillac, then the Lincoln.

Imperial styling is the best by far; Cadillac second and Lincoln a distant third.

The Caddy looks like a fat bloated over done boat with the two way over sized cow stabber bullets, yuck. The Lincoln just looks old, especially when you know what the '56 will offer. Leaving the Imperial, not overly fond of it but it beats the other.  '55 for my taste would be the  Chevy, Ford, Mercury, T-bird,

For obvious reasons, the Imperial, Cadillac and Lincoln.

Imperial. I like the split grill and the open rear wheel well. The taillights? I'm not so sure they fit the car's style.

Cadillac's Dagmars define the age and Lincoln is my favourite marque, yet seeing the three together, the Imperial has far more class.

How loud can I shout CADILLAC?  From '54 through '56 it will be, to my eyes, the epitome of styling brilliance.  As for my ranking of the other two, strangely, I'd pick "dated" styling of the Lincoln over the Imperial.

... which unfortunately defined American luxury. Just look at the sales figures. I agree it's overblown, but it looks the part. I wouldn't want one.

For me luxury = Cadillac. The imperial and Lincoln are beautiful too and close behind. I could never understand the taillight placement on the Imperial.
