Even 1/43 size, the 1958 Lincoln is a BIG car!

I agree.  I have Brookline 1960:

have you seen Neil Young s 1959 hybrid

Here's a rear quarter angle which shows off its size and also the way the whole body seems to flare outwards towards those angled headlamps at the front.

Charles your picture is of a 1959 while Franks is of a 1960. I love these big boats and have every model I can find of them.

Our next door neighbor had a four door hardtop version of the 1958 in beige.  More electrical gadgets and accessories than you can imagine plus the reverse rear window that rolled down.  No one does a model of that one....yet.

I also have the white Brooklin, and the lilac/white top up version too. Love both, but especially the latter.

Here's the Neo 2-door coupe.

The '58 Lincoln was an outrageous car with a lot of style. I just received the convertible pictured. An excellent color. It joins the hardtop I have in blue & also black.

Here's the one in black

Very big indeed!  I recently had mine out of its display case, with others, and it was a job getting it back correctly.  

This old display stand came from a local jewelry store several years ago.  I got permission and snatched it just as the trash truck pulled up in front.  It makes a lighted and revolving display stand for about fifty of my models.

@frank  Neil's car was lost in a fire a couple of years ago as I recall.

As Neil might say, "Better to burn out than fade away".

@mikedetorrice  Lol...that would be Neil Young alright!  The drummer he marches to is one of a kind and I mean that in a very respectful way.  He is a unique talent!

You are right, these two models are not '58s but besides the massive headlamp housings I believe the basic form remains little changed. The rear light clusters went from round in '58 to oval '59 and back to round, but more protrudent in '60 with their mesh surround acquiring a horizontal crease for '59. Also, the decklid mouldings changed for the '60 model.

What makes the 1959 the happiest version to my eyes, are in the bigger changes ...

1) losing the big '58 headlamp housings which I find too obtrusive. They are surely idiosyncratic and immediately recognisable - and adored by many. But I find they constrain the grille area, and by opening these up into the grille gives the later cars a much lighter feel.  

2) Similarly the massive front wheel arch mouldings are again lightened and in my view improved by being delineated by the light crease. Again, by 1960 the huge bumper 'arrows' which house the sidelights and from which these side mouldings flow have disappeared rendering the mouldings as they stand illogical by 1960.

3) Finally, by 1960 the rear fins protrude into the rear mesh area as the headlamps had done at the front in '58. I find this an extremely aggressive and uncomfortable arrangement. 

I would be very pleased to read what other contributors feel about the various changes in III, IV and V Continental models and how they perceive the changes to affect the overall design value.

I like all of the '58, '59,and '60 Lincolns and Lincoln Continentals, each in their own way. What impressive and luxurious giants ! I guess if I could wave a magic wand and get a single Lincoln from the series to have and drive, I might pick a Continental coupe with the powerful engine of the '58, the front grille and sides of the 1960 and the back/rear bumper design of the '59. LOL, I'd get it done in stainless steel, so corrosion would not eventually be a problem in this huge unit-body automobile !
