Projects Finally got my dream car-58 lincoln premiere!

Well I never thought I'd do it but i sold my 52 ford customline after owning it for nearly 7 years. I passed it along to a fellow club member to get the car I never thought I'd actually own. Love it or hate it I've been in love with 1958 Lincolns ever since i first saw a picture of one. I found this gem in Chicago. All original, unmolested, runs n drives. No rot, no mud, original paint, original interior, power everything. Original 430 with a cruise o matic 3 speed. Everything works except for the dash lights and two of the power windows. I couldn't be happier with it! I drove it to work the day after i got it and it was a dream. So here's some pictures, enjoy!

 

50s wretched excess at it's finest..... LOL. Nice Lincoln. Leaving it stock, or are you going to apply some custom touches?

 

Congrats - factory custom

 

One of the longest cars Ford ever produced! Nice!!! That original two-tone paint looks incredible! Glad to see that You're livin' the dream!

 

How can you not love those cars!!?!?!?!
Fantastic machines!

 

It's bitchin! Congrats.

Gawd, that's gorgeous. Love 'em, too. You done good.

 

Aaaand,it's a 2-door! Way cool. How much is a gallon of chrome polish? Congratulations!

 

Cooool car! Hope you didn't pay by the pound.

 

Lovely car , can't go wrong with a big body Lincoln they drip excess from the factory.

 

Good deal. Im so jealous

 

Great ride!, need a motor pic.

 

One of my favorite luxo-barges too.
That's one divine example.

 

I am a sucker for canted quads. Great find and enjoy the ride.
I followed a beautiful, mint, restored black 1960 Lincoln ragtop down the highway a couple of weeks ago. Great era for Lincolns.

 

Sweet, that has some style.

 

Nice! I had a '59 continental, and I sure do love those 58-60's!!

 

,,,,,to each his own,,,,but that is a great example of it's kind,,enjoy,,,,

 

Thanks guys. I'm gonna freshen up the mechanicals, lower it a little and find some wheels n tires i like. Anyone know if the aerostar spring works in these?

 

I was a kid, but I really liked the canted headlights when they came out in 58.. Looks like a very nice example of a very cool Lincoln...

 

Aerostar springs were crushed by my '53 Desoto,,,no chance with that,,,,,,,,,,,

 

A couple more...

 

What a beauty! Detail it, lower it a bit, cruiser skirts, wide whites. Done.

 

Wild car....styling excess never to be seen again...I like where your gong with it...lowered, ww, gotta get some cool caps..always like the premier hub caps

 

Nice score! But your going to need a Tuna boat captians lincense to drive that monster. JUST KIDDIN NICE! Bruce.

 

Figured out the windows! Two fried motors, 3 fried switches. I had to see it with the windows down though...

 

"the species became extinct..."
It's great to see this sled preserved, thanks for posting.

 

I'd stop eating Mexican that late if it gave me dreams like that- but it is a nice example .

 

Got the dash lights working, burned out rheostat in headlight switch. Easy fix...
