    I bought one of these for $ 75 in 1963. It was on its way into the junk yard because the entire right side was badly damaged. I bought all I needed in that same junkyard and replaced it all wtth the help of my Welder Dad because of its "Unit body construction What a car, it was like riding on a cloud. 14" tires. I still recall watching the gas gauge drift towards empty on a cold morning :) it began falling apart faster then I could fix it. First the carb, then the top wouldn't go up in the poring rain, then a part of its radio that was "strewn behind the dash", then its " weak reverse" completly disappeared .Lastly the "trailing arm " broke. I didn't have it a year b4 I had to dump it. What a shame, the car was a work of art and the instrument cluster was the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen in any vehicle.

    My brother inherited our dad's 1960. One owner, garaged, only driven in the summer. Low miles...still a beautiful car in 2020.

    I always liked that pressed in front fender sculpting. On metallic paint jobs, really shows nicely. The cats eyeglass headlights always looked so good, and what sophisticated looking switches for the windows! I'm so glad they turned the lights on at the end. It's been a long time since I saw those wonderful rear lights lit up on the road!

    If you don't mind me asking what was the asking price and as the seller would it not be your responsibility to ensure all electrics are in working order and that the broken glass is replaced before sale.

      Most classic car dealers do no repairs, just wash and wax and flip it.

    This is a stunning ride. This is a 1958 model and it is not a Lincoln. It is a Continental Mark lll the 1959 was a Mark lV and was a Continental as well. Those two years did not have the Lincoln name as reported by many vintage car buffs. If you check you will not see any Lincoln reference to the badging of this beautiful car. Just an observation.

    From the years 1958 to 1960 these were known as the stinkin' Lincolns. They're a curiosity today but back then considered the ugliest cars ever made nearly causing Ford to cancel the line. Robert McNamara wanted Lincoln off the books but two things saved it. He left to be Secretary of State under Kennedy and Ford's great grandson said "Either improve the styling of this rolling bathtub or you will all lose your jobs." The result: the 1961 Lincoln Continental.

      The '61 was boring. And you couldn't get a two-door hardtop from '61-'65. The four-door convertible (really, ANY four-door) just doesn't cut it.

      ​@northlight1908 The 61-68 Lincoln was one of Ford Motor Co. Greatest success stories.
