Imperial is more "dynamic" looking to my eye.

The '59 Continental is a much-improved version of the '58, while the Imperial went in the opposite direction.  Plus, the color of the Continental is hard to beat. A vote for the Lincoln from me.

I like both John but I don’t want to vote tie. I cast my vote for the Imperial but it wins only by a slight margin.

Voted for the Imperial design except for the grill which I find heavy.  The Lincoln is just odd. Now that I look back a lot of 59s had heavy and odd grills.

Not a fan of either but the Imperial eeks out a win.

Both, to me, are in the category of "Go Big or Go Home".

Most Imperial's are so nice that I wouldn't drive this '59 near them so as to taint their beauty. Give me that big A$$ Conny and I'll impress all my friends, relatives and, especially, enemies - all one of him/her.

Great color for the Lincoln, but not enough to capture my vote - Imperial all the way!

Not much about 1959 Americana that I really appreciate. Studebaker is my favourite.

Sorry but that Imperial looks like several designers were fearful for their jobs and had to add something to keep their employment. Too bad because it didn't end well.
