PICs: Which '48? Cadillac or Lincoln by John Bono #39641

Cadillac. So much more modern looking, and such a beautiful design! (EOM) by Barry Levittan #39641.1

The Lincoln was the last of a beautiful styling trend dating from the later 1930's, by David Holcombe #39641.2

CADILLAC. I didn't have to think much on this one. The Lincoln looks like a late 30's car in by George Schire #39641.3

Cadillac by far. This beautifully flowing design in '48 was far ahead of its time by Jack Dodds #39641.4

What series (model number) is the Cadillac? (EOM) by Brian Cox #39641.5

Series 62. (EOM) by John Bono #39641.5.1

Thanks, I'll go with the CCCA full classic Lincoln. (EOM) by Brian Cox #39641.5.1.1

Cadillac (EOM) by George Burgess #39641.6

Like both of them but the Cadillac gets the nod. The old Cadillac V8 by Bob Jackman #39641.7

This really is modern vs. classic. I'll go Cadillac. (EOM) by Ed Glorius #39641.9

* * * Caddy * * * (EOM) by Dennis Mong #39641.10

Cadillac! Sleek styling. Nice chrome. Love the fins. Lincoln looks grotesque. (EOM) by Tim Kubiak #39641.11

Prefer the Cadillac. For me the first Continental was beautiful.. by John Roberts #39641.12

The Caddy for sure. I didn't care for what they did to the front end of the Continental after 1940 (EOM) by Michael Rodriguez #39641.13

Caddy please. I generally don't care for luxury cars, never paid attention to the 48 Caddy before. (EOM) by Bruce Parsons #39641.14

I have never been a big fan of either one but these are both beautiful. (EOM) by Dick Johnson #39641.15

The Caddy has gracefull body lines. The Lincoln looks like it was cobbled together from to many by Gary Rockwood #39641.16

Caddy looks newer (EOM) by Ron Dietrich #39641.17

Great styling from both the late ’30s and late ‘40s. Caddy gets the vote for its better engine. (EOM) by John Bono #39641.18
