Both of these luxurious giants are excellent monsters and delightfully ostentatious ! You had it made if you drove one of these huge cruisers back in 1959. I have some '58 Lincolns in 1/18, but not yet a diecast of either of these 1959's in scale form.

I'm not particularly a fan of either car but give the nod to the Lincoln.  The Imperial heavy grille spoiled its looks completely; the shoulder years look great.

Agree with Michael, but if you really wanted to stand out you would go with the uniquely styled Continental. The Imperial looks like just another offering from the Chrysler Corp.
