Location: San Antonio TX | Needs a lot of work but appears to be very dry and solid. I see power windows, but not any other options. Looks to be missing some trim but there's a lot of junk in it and the missing peices might be buried in there somewhere. Auction starts at $75.00. https://i15auctions.proxibid.com/aspr/1957-Chrysler-New-Yorker-4-door-Hardtop/40840159/LotDetail.asp?lid=40840159 |

Crazy how 58-60 Lincoln, one of the most overly sculpted cars of all time, was succeeded by one of the simplest and least sculpted cars of all time in 61.

Location: Parts Unknown | Call me crazy .... I love the 58-60 Lincolns. Kinda like 61 Dodge, you gotta
be around them in person. Photos just do not capture the cool. Super low
belt line and "starship" styling details galore. Definitely a different path than
where Exner dwelt, but a fine sight better looking that that abortion that Chevy
built in 1958. Scaling out at 25 tons, that 430 was rough on fuel, but they really
were quite a car. Lincoln had a lot of great styling over the years. The early 30's
cars, and while I don't care for them, the Zephyr era stuff was a real standout
for the times, the 49-51 bathrubs, and all through the George Jetson era they
were great. Ever seen a 56 in that incredible lilac color they had ? 57's were
over the top too. The razor-side 61 was one of the cleanest pullouts from the
fin theme any car mfr. managed. |

| That Lincoln is a good looking car and certainly not boring to look at. This one looks solid and looks like it might clean up nice. Pull up in a show with this redone and you probably will be the only one like it.
Absolutely a beautiful car.
That Pinto wagon in the background looks interesting too.

| im sorry I can seem to like that car, its way too awkward and the rear window reverse slant looks horrible. Just an ugly car, its different ill give you that but certainly not sleek. Typical for ford designs, looks like a rock to a certain extent. Chryslers 61 usage looked much better

Location: Northen Virginia | Nice thread and cars, we have to admit that the Lincoln is a bold design, one of those cars that seems coming from other places different than the ford drawing table.
but guys remember that non FL car pictures or discussion are not allowed in here for some unknown reason or rule. Ronbo97 is going to send this thread to the dump with his happy trigger finger.

Location: San Antonio, TX | In an attempt to appease and perhaps preserve this thread I'll offer this. That 57 more door New Yorker looks pretty darn complete and restorable. At least from what you can see. Hopefully the plug wire covers and the rear glass trim are in the trunk pile?? |

Yes indeed Sid, I never understood how they could make such a daring design and then stumble on the interior |

Too bad they scewed up royally and put the shifter controls where the horn is supposed to go! That was probably the least of the Edsel's problems though.... |

I hope the body of the car survives.
One could guess that $3800 is what somebody was willing to pay to just get the 392. Whether the car itself survives I would hope so too. Hard to say.
Hey, maybe somebody is going to restore the car with that engine.
Maybe.
