I prefer the Mark V, Caddy just a bit too bloated after the iconic 59.   👀

Both outrageous examples of American opulence. Which is why I like them, but no interest in owning either. Though the styling is boldly different between them, I vote a TIE.

They are both gorgeous cars, as much as I love the Lincoln (prefer the '59) the Cadillac has my vote. A beautiful style.

These two are too large for my driving tastes, but I very much prefer the Lincoln Continental styling.

I like the Cadillac far more than the 59 but like the Lincoln more than either.

I love both cars. In agreement with David; both too outlandishly big for me to want to drive either. To me, the Caddy portrays a rocket ship. The Continental takes the guise of a jet fighter. I think I'd rather have a jet fighter in my garage - hence my vote.

What?  The '60 Cadillac "just a bit too bloated after the iconic '59"?  My eyes aren't seeing "bloated" at all.  Compared to the '59, the '60 is practically a compact.  I'm being facetious but, seriously the '59 was just land Yacht in comparison, and an odd looking one at that.

The '60 CADILLAC by a landside!  The '58, '59', and '60 Lincoln were just odd looking from bumper to bumper.  Nothing on them flowed or made sense.  It was like a group of (supposed) stylists got together and took turns putting something on them.

LOL! That can be said of just about every car made after 1955, particularly of Cadillacs. It was a series of years in which every manufacturer was trying to outdo the other.

I like them both, even though they are certainly different. They definitely made a statement that you had arrived and must have made good to afford to buy and drive these beautiful giants !

The Continental is my choice. I'm not much of a Cadillac fan although there are some years I like very much.

+1  I'm also not a fan of this era Lincoln but by '60 the nose and tail end were much improved IMHO and it still looks better than the Caddy.  The light blue color really helps this Lincoln as well.
