Hi Chas,  they're very good. Were they for the same client; if so, I imagine he must have been a bit of a Continental fan.

An excellent job on this ! They look terrific and quite impressive and those giant automobiles were luxury liners, for sure.

From one who does these sort of things, great job Chazy.    I suspect with a car as huge as this Continental a four door makes a lot more sense.  And for the statisticians,  in 1960 production of four door Continentals was 7411,  two doors, 1461 and convertibles, 2044.

You have the cars, now here's a cute little vignette that you could create to display one of them alongside.

@charles-rockett yes, they were. The 60 was first. After he saw it in person, he wanted a 59.
