@ed-davis Ed, the body, windshield and frame are brooklin. Headlight, front and rear bumpers,  wheels and tires and complete interior are NEO. I prefer the heft of white metal and now I have a solid 58.

Fantastic job! This model looks magnificent!

I collect Lincolns and know how difficult is to fill all gaps. Incredible 1959 version was made by Minimarque 43 but very difficult to find it. As to 1960 Brooklin made superb models. I still dream about their latest BRK 245 Town Car.

Sadly 1958 year is represented only by Neo. Frankly speaking I don't like resin because of its problems with quality. Sure your example will encourage other Lincoln's fans to make conversions.

@chazy-r You did an awesome job of turning a 60 Brooklin into a 58 Chazy. Just changing the front fender sculpture and eliminating the door sculpture alone are works of art. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.

@ed-davis The conversion process was challenging and tested my skill level but for me worth it to finally have the 58 represented in white metal. Thanks to NEO for producing the 58 and, with out it, I would not have been able to replicate the bumpers and wheels. Modifying the chrome revealed just how great the chrome plating is. The NEO interior fit like a glove in the Brooklin. Thanks to all for your comments.
