I just can't pass on the Imperial's headlights. They are outrageous and, IMO, spawned the neoclassic look that arose later in the seventies. The Imperial is something like the ultimate 50's homage. I voted for it! But I still love the Caddy as a prime representative of the sixties,

I'll drink to that JK. An Iced Tea of course !

They are both gorgeous luxury automobiles at the end of the fin era.

While generally I prefer the Imperial to the Cadillac, in case, I cannot warm to either. Just too big with superfluous hardware and metal. A Nash Metropolitan convertible as shown in the 1/43 postings would suit me better as a driver’s car
