From My Collection... 1960 Lincoln

John Merritt · 2026-01-02T03:15:42Z

OK, in 1:1 form these were large cars, very large indeed. Today when I see one, I find them to have a commanding presence. They are distinctive and certainly can't be confused with any other car on the road. I have always been a fan, and I can appreciate everything they had to offer. That kind of car, like the Cadillac and Imperial from the same era took extreme to the very edge. They all made a statement of excess, but for me, they also exhibited class and luxury. As far as I know, the only 1960 Lincoln model offered by anyone was from Brooklin, and that was a white convertible 1st issued in the late 1990s. Brooklin followed that one with two other convertibles in additional colors and limited numbers. They all reside in my collection, and I am pleased with each and every one. Now here we are in 2025, and the Brooklin Collector's Club has chosen to commission another version of the 1960 Lincoln model. This time a Town Car Sedan was chosen. A rare car in 1:1 form, and even a bit rarer in model form. The model was issued in a Limited Edition of 95, with the 1st 37 of those individually numbered, mine is #26 (I don't remember now how, but #26 is my number and many of my later LE models have the same number - I also don't recall why some are numbered and others are not-does someone else remember the reason?) Anyway, this is a wonderful model and is crafted with all the added details that Brooklin models have had for a couple of years now. Everyone knows I am a devoted Brooklin fan and with that I am thrilled to have this gorgeous gem in my collection. 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V Town car Sedan, BRK 245

Great Photo's John of the 1959/1960 compared.

Is it me, or did they start the roofline too late on the 1959 by Stamp? The real car appears to show that the roof extends past the top of the windshield.

Thanks!

You are right. The other 2 sedans I have are modeled the same. I caught that when I was processing my photos. Not a deal breaker for me as overall the models are very nice.
