Yet another great one!

My vote goes to the Continental Mark II, the true predecessor to the elegant '61 Continental. It had understated sophistication and whispered, "hand-made, bespoke" at every turn like one being custom-made by a dignified coachbuilder. It was exclusive, refined, and eschewed anything that looked tacked on or faddish. It is an icon.

How loud can I shout CADILLAC?  Then Packard, then Continental.  The latter being to my eyes, such an oddball styling.  This comparison would have been more fair if the the regular Lincoln would have been in the mix.  Had that been the case, I'd have put the Lincoln before the Packard.

All the cars here are Top-of-the Line. The regular Lincoln is not.

Fantastic comparo!

Packard first for me, Continental next. That Cadillac always looks to me like GM welded two different cars together in the middle.

Have no real interest in any of them, would have prefered the Lincoln Premiere.  Rating these three on looks, Continental, Cadillac, Packard.

@moe-parr I agree with your assessment of the Cadillac Eldorado.  Continental, Packard, Cadillac for me.

Continental by a landslide. Such a beautiful and well constructed car.

Had it been the Lincoln, I'd still choose it. Followed by the Packard.

Lincoln, Packard, Caddy in this showing.  Love the long nose of the Lincoln which stayed that way all the way through to 1980

The Continental for me. You can have the other two as I don't care for them.
