Since I drove Mom's 1960 Caddy (it wasn't the Eldo Biarritz) to take my driver's test in, loyalty makes me vote Caddy.

THunderbird because it's smaller and sportier - if you can call such a large car that.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Where oh where could the T-bird be?  May be one of these?

A tough one for me. I generally love T-Birds but in this case, The Caddy wins.

I do not like the 58-60 T-Birds, so my vote goes with the gorgeous Caddy.

Got to vote T-Bird. '59 and '60 Cadillacs seem a little "excessive" to me.

A tie for me. Both are absolutely gorgeous in their own right. I'd take either without hesitation. 😊

The cleaner , trimmer and sportier styling of the T-Bird gets the easy win for me.

Of course, it has to be the Cadillac - I like just about every car from the 1960 model year, the only one I like more than the Cadillac is the Imperial.

Love both, but it's the DDG Cadillac that gets my vote.

Gents, thanks for your replies.
