I voted Cadillac.  The Imperial might have been a contender if it had the quad headlights.

Huh?  But the Cadillac doesn't have quad headlights either.  Smile

The Cadillac looks just fine and was designed with the dual headlights, but the Imperial was designed with quad headlights.  This example has the duals because some states' laws required that cars be equipped with two headlights.  Now George, doesn't this look more pleasing to the eye??

1957 Imperial

Thanks Pete for your explanation.  I was aware of the silly law some states had back in '57 not allowing quad headlights.  I've always been confused that we live in the United States, but truth is none of the states are "United" when it comes to laws, statutes, and regulations.  Honestly since I was a kid, I've never understood that, as my definition of "United" has been "we're together as one".  The dictionary definition is: 1. Made into, or caused to act a single entity.  2. Formed or produced by the uniting of things or persons (i.e. united people or united effort).  But as in the case of the dual or quad headlights on cars, and in most things, there is no unity at all.
