@100ford2003 The close light issue rings a distant bell with me as well Steve, but I don't recall with certainty.

Tie comparing the two I would pick the Bird but that being said I like the two seater much more.  The Cadillac is humongous but says so much about the fifties.

Love the T-bird but I must vote for the iconic '59 Cadillac.

Gents, thanks for your replies.

@jack-dodds Jack, maybe you're not obnoxious and self centered enough to own one.

Those of us that own a 50's, 60's, or 70's car know it automatically becomes the center of attention and doesn't necessarily make us obnoxious or attention seekers.

My choice is the over-the-top Cadillac for obvious reasons.
