FIN-TASTIC! The 58, 59, and 60 Lincoln's were the result of stylists losing their minds.
In '58 all-out ugly from bumper to bumper reined supreme for the next three years.

I Totally Disagree
To my eyes, these were some of the most beautiful Lincolns ever made. And they were big and comfortable. The back seat was like your living room couch, and just as big, if not bigger.

Absolutely gorgeous cars especially the Premiers with their
Breezeway rear windows.

I'm loving that gray one, but I wouldn't love to wash 'n wax it.

David, I give you this. The 58, 59, & 60 Lincoln's were better looking than the 61's that followed.
There was not a more bland and lack of imagination car from any of the Big Three EVER than the 61 Lincoln.

I’d call it more excessive then ugly. But I do find these interesting and love the rear end!
The breezeway window is cool and it looks very stately IMO

Really? I think the 61 Lincoln was one of the most beautiful cars of all time. It's beauty was simplicity itself.

I wouldn’t want to polish all that chrome and trim. Lol

The breezeway window was first introduced on the 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser.

David, just because a magazine votes a car to be most beautiful, doesn't mean that everyone agrees that it is. In fact no car would ever be considered by everyone as being most beautiful, or for that fact, most ugly either. And bear in mind that those so-called votes were from the editors and staff of the magazine.

But, but....
... doesn't everyone agree that the Pontiac Aztec is one of the most beautiful cars ever?
