Excellent video, John.  I have the GLM convertible in the blue color so went with the white.  I don't know where "peacock green" comes from in the Lincoln color names.  I see only bright blue.  It's a gorgeous color regardless.

I was kinda blown away by the white version when I received it.  It just has such a presence. 

Still considering adding the town car.  

Spectacular models all.

The Peacock Green shade really accentuates the body sculpture lines.

@michaeldetorrice I have the red convertible and love it.  It's strange; I am not a big fan of this car 1:1 scale but I love the model.

I love both the 1:1 and the replica of it, too. I presently have some 1/18 scale diecast models of the 1958 version of this giant.

I never owned a 1:1 '59 Lincoln but I've been in a few....    LSS: GLM did a GREAT job on these! 

- Nicely done video John!

A great video of some very models. They are all well done and, other than the standard black version, all a part of my collection. My favorite is the white one.

Thanks John.

@jcarnutz, I gotta admit, that elegant white one gives the Peacock Green one a run for its money.

John, you review of these models is outstanding in every way but there is a slight error. In 1959 the Continental was a Mark IV not a Mark V. Another home run for GLM.
