The 1959 Lincoln are surprisingly shorter than last year’s. The redesigned grille now integrates the slanted quad headlights, instead of being recessed. Engine is still the huge “430” block, but its output is slightly lower, a moderation motivated by the crisis that has hit the United States last year. It also exists an even plusher Continental variant of this car.
