I'm a fan of these big boats. Lincoln for me.

Too large for my liking but I do have a slight preference for the Continental Mk IV.

I really like the look of the Continental . 👀

Like David, way too big for my liking too. The Caddy is '59-iconic but the styling of the Continental is one I have always loved. I voted for the Mark IV. If Ford could proportionately downsize the car to '50's Thunderbird size I would buy the car in a heartbeat!

I voted Cadillac. I'm not a fan of the Lincoln.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I'm not really a fan of either design but prefer the Lincoln's comparatively conservative look. The '59 and '60 Cadillacs have never appealed to me at all but the years prior to and after sure do! Same goes for the '58 thru '60 Lincoln. I will add though that I appreciate them at car shows for what they represent in American auto styling history.

I would not buy either car, have no interest in either, but the Continental looks a little better to me.

Oh man, this is like going to the voting booth for most presidential elections. The choices are ugly #1 vs. ugly #2. We're forced to vote for the best of the worst. Being completely honest, both cars are morbidly obese and should be food for the crusher.

Two extremely styled but very different luxury convertibles from 1959. Cadillac is my pick by the smallest of margins.
