58 for me. After the beautiful 56, the 57 was a big letdown for me.

I echo exactly what Mr. Jackman said above. 

The '57 was ruined with those "almost to the moon fins", after the beautifully stylish rear-end version the '56 gave us.  As for the '58, though I'd not say I was gaga over the styling, it certainly was "way out there!".  And I did like the '58, '59, and '60 way, way better that the rectangle boxy '61.  I know I'm in the minority with that last comment, but I'm okay with that.  The '61 just didn't do it for me at all.

 Oth styles have aspects that I like and dislike. Overall, I end up with a tie.

I'm not a fan of either design but picked the '57 over the chunky '58.

The '57 looks too disjointed to me.  The back half doesn't go with the front half, ala the rear wheel openings and those crazy fins.   The styling of the '58 is harmonious from front to back, so it's my choice.

The 58 is when Lincolns started to stand out in the crowd.
