At the time the Lincoln was one of the biggest cars ever made.

The 1958–1960 Lincolns and Lincoln Continentals were the most massive American passenger cars produced since World War II, as they were built on a 131-inch wheelbase and had an overall length of 229 inches. The Mark III Convertible tips the scales at an impressive 4,928 pounds, and only 3,048 were produced.

The design is typically credited to John Najjar, although a junior designer named Larry Shinoda, later famed for his work on the 1963 Corvette Stingray, contributed to the design. The Lincolns were built at Ford Motor Company’s Wixom, Michigan, plant, together with the second-generation Thunderbirds, and they were Ford Motor Company’s first unibody automobiles.
