I think it just needs a few hundred pounds more in chrome panels on the sides... Apparently in the design studio, it was referred to as the "Slant-eyed monster" All that and single digit gas mileage too!
Not tank driving but the designer apparently did work on the Sherman tank! Lincoln lost over $60 million during 1958-1960, reflecting the enormous expense of developing the largest unibody car produced to date and poor consumer reception. The 1958 full-size Lincoln sold poorly in all models.
Mark III with the criss-cross pattern aluminium grille, full-length lower body mouldings and grid pattern rear panel. Apparently just over 1200 4-door 1958 Mark III sedans were made, so this would be a rare survivor.

I'll be the first to say it...its ugly.
Yes, ugly, ugly, ugly! What is that inside out fender thing on the front? What were they thinking?

1958. I wonder if the designer's previous job had been driving tanks in WWII.

23,000 sold compared to 125,000 for Cadillac. But they got their act together for 1961.
