I choose the Lincoln.  Both pretty outrageous style and size.  The front of the imperial very sharp but I never cared for the tail lights.

Back in 1958, I really liked the Continental. In 2021, I now prefer the looks of the Imperial.

The Imperial has much better styling IMO. I really dislike the 58 and 59 Continental and always have.  The improved grille on the 60 helped a bit but I was really happy when the beautiful 61 arrived.

I really like both, but my vote goes to the IMPERIAL.
