Both are nice cars but I prefer the looks slightly of the 1957 version.

The 56 is beautiful and balanced while the 57 is still evolving its dual headlight configuration.

Taillights and rear design looks better to me on the ‘56.

For me this is a slam dunk for the 1956. The 1957 ruins what was a well designed car IMO.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I agree.  The styling of the 56 is gorgeous; the 57 looks overdone by comparison.

Easy one for me.  The '56!  It was so perfect!  Then for whatever reason, the styling was messed with and it was ruined in '57.  And after that they really lost their minds from 1958 on.  Lincoln never looked nice to me again.

Lincoln. Ed expressed my thoughts exactly. 1956 for me.

Easy pick-the '56 in every way. My favorite 50s Lincoln.
