I wouldn't have thought to compare these two, but it's actually a very good match-up...well thought out today, John!

I voted for the T-Bird for its combination of luxury and sport in a right-sized package.

Plus I always enjoy when I can find one of your "which ones" in my display case:

You delight in making us sweat; doncha John? Wink Ok, I admit it - I LOVE it!

Years ago, I would have chosen the T-Bird without hesitation. Just as Barry, above, points out - luxury and sport. But today, with all these hard years behind me   -   I'll still take the T-Bird. Look at that color, those wheels, the sports roadster tonneau! Yep, T-Bird!

What Moe said. I prefer small (er) cars.

Forget that huge Cadillac. The Thunderbird is still too large but I like that deck and tonneau, and all I need is two seats these days. Nice ride!

Cadillac by a country mile for me....no contest.  The post '63 T-Birds did nothing for me I'm afraid.

Neither does anything for me at all.  If I were at a car show and either or both cars were there, I'd be walking right past them.  With a gun to my temple, I might be able to go with the Cadillac, but I'd have to be in that moment to make that decision.  Both are unattractive to my eyes.

T-bird please.  As long as it is a convertible.  Big boat luxury cars don't interest me. The only years I like the Caddy are 1957 & 1962.  And for some reason I liked the looks of:

1993 cadillac allante

 Would not own one because over the years I have heard they were not very good, but I still like there looks.

I always liked these Cadillacs. A neighbor had an XLR, but sold it when he found out a taillight replacement would cost $5K if it was broken.

Holy carp! Both had good engines. The Allante had the Northstar mill transversely mounted and powered front wheel drive. The XLR had a V8 in front but was rear wheel drive.

I love the tBird too though.

T Bird for me. Like Barry, I would not have thought to put these two together but it made for a good comparison.

You can take the boy out of Brooklyn, but you can't take Brooklyn out of the boy.

Cadillac for me...I like the T-bird too.

Gents, thanks for your responses!

T-bird as well. I love the Caddy, but the 'Bird, it just looks so right.🤑
