Re: 1941 PACKARD vs. 1941 CADILLAC

I agree - Clipper club sedan vs Cadillac fastback, club coupes head to head. Both Cadillac and Packard still had narrow grilles, cat walks, and free-standing headlights in 1940.

Cadillac's transition to a wide horizontal grille made further front end evolution easier. I'd argue the Clipper fender fade is more elegant and streamlined than the Caddy pontoons. For that matter, so is the bathtub fuselage style, but the execution by reusing the narrower greenhouse upsets the proportions.
