Nice but "No."

Absolutely YES !!!  The Mk II looks perfect.  The prominent horizontal line on the turquoise car seems to lose definition in the front fender but would certainly be corrected before actual production.  The renderings are so nicely done.  Thanks for sharing.  Should we call this Mark Monday?

A nice attempt at sharpening up the Continental Mk II styling, which seems to be have much admired in its day but always struck me as curiously old-fashioned - like a 1940's stylist's idea of what a 1950s car would look like.

Not perfect, but rather more appealing to my eye.

Absolutely Not! IMO hideous.

Not bad...not bad.  The green version, with a few body line tweaks, would have made a much nicer looking 1958-60 Lincoln.

11. Thou shalt NOT shorten a wheelbase!

I've seen many wonderfully modified images from this artist and these are not among them.  Wagons, limousines, long wheelbase sedans, anything but these "roadsters."
