'59 Cadillac or Continental?

I went with the Continental Mk IV for its size and technology. It's just shy of 19 feet long and is of unibody construction. Its got a larger engine than the Cadillac, 430 vs 390. The convertible top folds into its own compartment behind the back seat with a hard cover, and its got an electrically operated rear glass window when the top is up. The Cadillac is conventional GM as far as build goes. However, Cadillac convertible did outsell the Continental 5 to 1, probably because the Series 62 was $1,500 less than the Continental!

I came close to saying not interested, but chose the Cadillac. A friend had a black Series 62 delivered while we were visiting them in Saugatuck, and he and I drove around Lake Michigan with the top down and snow on the ground. Great memory.

So far "Tie" is the leading choice.
