Sal Hepatica Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Pretty darned rare today in a 2 door. Imagine buying this in the summer of '60, and then the stunning '61 came out a few months later. The rear window is stylistically similar to the lowly '60 Ford Fairlane line- not the handsome "Thunderbird inspired" Galaxie roofline. IMHO, the '60 Lincoln is the most insipid restyle of the '58-60 line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely see those... I agree. This is one time when the seller's calling it "rare" is justified. I see plenty of Continental Mark 4-door hardtops and convertibles. The regular 1958-1960 Lincoln line is seen maybe 1/10 as often as the Continentals. And this, being a regular Lincoln 2-door, is a model which I don't recall seeing EVER. I hope some Lincoln fan will buy this and continue the improvement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I've never seen one before and I'm kind of glad about that. Poor homely thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The unibody 1958-'60 Lincolns and Continentals pretty much 'did-in' the appeal of two door Lincolns for a while, to wit: Precent of annual production, 1956-'60: 1956: 47% 1957: 44.2% 1958: 27% 1959: 22% 1960: 18% These percentages may have influenced the decision to delete the two-door hardtop from the 1961 Lincoln Continental body style selection. One major possible cause of the diminished appeal of the 1958-'60 two door hardtops may stem from the fact the two-door hardtop shares the same roof shell stampings and configuration as the four door hardtops. Whereas industry design practice in the era was to truncate the length of the two-door hardtop roof for a sportier look, the tooling cost for this Lincoln series may have precluded that additional expense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I actually like the styling of this massive thing but I am also a big fan of the 1960 Ford, the red headed stepchild of 60s Fords. That rear window does look familiar... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, the '60 Lincoln is the most insipid restyle of the '58-60 line. I think the upper models had the reverse slant backlight. Unusual to see a base model with this roofline. Not sure I've ever seen one. The base premiere in black looks much "cleaner" than some of the upper model 4 doors in bright colors. Completely different than the '61 but each has their charms. I'm not a fan of the front end of the 58-60 but I like the side profile and rear. The '61 is of course virtually perfect from any angle! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the styling of the 1960 Lincolns and Continentals, too. They're not classic beauties, but they are pleasant. From all I've read, the Lincolns (and Continentals) of 1958-1960 were great disappointments to Ford Motor Company. They thought they were all set to rival Cadillac, but sales were very disappointing, and got worse every year. They fell further and further behind. In the late 1950's, there was a public reaction against ever bigger cars with thirstier engines. Therefore, each year in 1959 and 1960, Lincoln's engines had less horsepower. They also toned down the 1958 styling each year, making it more conventional. Hence, the more ordinary roofline of the regular 1960 Lincolns.

I would agree with you on most of the 1960 Fords, but IMO the Starliner with the fastback roof line is a beautiful car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
