... you may have never seen before but certainly heard about, especially if you're a slab-side Lincoln fan. 😎

Interesting drawings. It's a shame they didn't make a 2dr. in '61.

@100ford2003 Ugly compared to the tail end ultimately produced, but it looked great on the '62 Galaxie.

@100ford2003 Steve your remark about the backend being ugly is kind of blunt....oh, I agree.

Only in the sense that it's a strange choice. The rest of the car is designed with a "yard stick," so it seems odd that circles would appear. But as Jack noted, they sure looked nice in '62.
It's still impressive (well, to me anyway ) that these drawings are from 1957! Really advanced thinking ("outside the box" ) when compared to ANYTHING American at that time. 😎
