(Pics) 1958 Continental
The enormous Continental by Lincoln was their special top-of-the-line version of the newly-restyled Lincolns for that year. 1958 was recession year for the country and especially for car sales so this beautiful and comfortable giant suffered that year.
This is the incredibly cool top-up convertible version of the Continental from the SunStar Platinum line.

Mike, the background of the last picture is a perfect setting for this terrific model. This model is a favorite in my collection.

Oh that squashed look! I fixed mine but still haven't "re-made" a taller windshield. Someday...
? I need to create a mold (form) then heat/bend some plexiglass to shape.

Thanks, Bob. LOL, yep, you would imagine that anyone owning a luxurious new Continental back in 1958 would probably also have a real nice house and plenty of park-like property around it !
