Like the Caddy, I never acquired a taste for those “finny” Chryslers.

John, I believe your Cadillac is a 1963.

As much as I love the 1961 Cadillac, the Imperial wins for maximum nostalgia. I carried my 1/25th model with me for a few years when I was 5 to 7, like Linus with his blanket.

I mean, how outrageous is this thing?

Isn't that Cadillac a 1963 model year?

Very nice looking vehicles but too large a size for my taste range.

I go with the CADILLAC, but only because I'd take it over the Imperial if I had a gun to my head and had to choose.  Fact is, neither really grabs me.

The '61 Imperial was an attention grabber with its unconventional/retro headlight design but I much prefer the crisper lines of the Cadillac.  The trimmed down tail fins on the '62 Cadillac made it even more attractive IMO; my fave Caddy of that decade.

The imperial is more attractive IMO, but I pick the Cadillac which I believe is overall a better car quality wise.
