I think the Continental is as cool as it is over the top as a two door.  😎👍

I like them both ! The epitome of the enormous American luxury automobile from the 1950's. You definitely had made it if you were driving (or being driven) in one of these beauties.

No interest in either, but I think the Continental photographs better.

The Imperial is nice, but not as nice as the Continental. I'm a long time fan of the Mark IV ('58 -'60) generation. Its styling sets it apart from everything else on the road. The "breezeway" rear window was carried over from the '57 Mercury TPC.
