I'm not too keen on the way Imperial added the headlights to the front assembly but otherwise,I rather like this car. I choose Imperial.

Funny how we see things differently as I think the stand alone headlights are unique and add a great detail to the Imperial. Imperial.

The Imperial is far more distinctive, starting in '63, the Cadillac became less interesting.

Have never been in to luxury cars, always way above my means and not made for the way I like to drive.. I like the looks of the Caddy better but prefer the Imperial drive train & interior; hence a tie vote.

Imperial, although to me this wasn't a great year for either styling-wise.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Caddy styling is far more appealing in this era IMHO.

The Imperial is nice, but I prefer the more traditional styling of the Cadillac.

The CADILLAC, though neither car really rocks me. I do know that the Imperial's "gee, we forgot headlights, let's just tack them on look" is not appealing to me.
