'58 Lincoln Premier- Can it be cool?

I may have run across a very cheap deal on a very complete '58 Lincoln Premier. I've never pondered building one, and God knows I don't need another project, but the price is low and it would be saving it from languishing in a field. I'm having no luck finding images online of kustom or rodded '58-'60 2dr Lincolns. Anybody have some photos, or maybe some good ideas?
Thanks!

 

Can it be cool?? Come on.... It is cool if you think it is... who gives a rats ass what others think....I think there cool if you care that much!!!

come on, like you even need to ask??? that's a wicked car stock!

 

Kool is in the eye of the beer holder,or key holder in this case.

 

They can be very cool. Hell I think they are cool stone stock!

 

Seems like Zocchi or D'Agostino have done one, prob'ly cost more than my house to build...

Really watch out for rust...Ford's first year trying out the unibody thing...

 

Not cool!

 

I have a pic of a customized one at home I'll post when I get there.

 

I agree they look cool stock, but I was hoping to get some inspiration for what could be done as far as a mild treatment.

Btw, ironically the car is the same color combo as both of those pics.

 

Come on! a little bodywork and some wheels and that would be a cool camper. I'd drive it.

 

I know where there's a late 50's Caddy that looks EXACTLY like that, I just found it in a junkyard yesterday and took pics, I'll try and post them...

 

Sounds neat, can you post a pic?

 

It could be cool if the camper was designed to flow with the Lincoln design-

 

No pics of it currently, but it's basically a faded and neglected version of the above red car and missing a few trim parts.

 

Those big ass Lincolns are awesome.Custom car styling right from the factory.

 

One of the coolest quad headlight designs in the history of Motown! Absolutely! Go for it dude! Do that monster proud!

 

Here's the only custom one I have. The ragtops of these cars are even WAY more awesome!

 

HP 67 PM me with your email. I had to resize that pic to post it I'll email you the higher rez one if you want.

 

If you decide not to get it, I think i know a guy in burbank who has been looking for one..you could probably get a finders fee or something.

 

a guy i know runs them in the demo probably ran 4 of them this year and one was a two door kind of sad to see him destroy them but there tough as hell

 

That's just a terrible waste... Why on earth would anyone do that with any car from the '50's? Even if it's too rough to restore, it could give parts to others. It's not like they're re-popping much from that era.

Anyways, back to topic...

Scroll down to check out Goozgaz's '60. It's a great example of a mild custom Lincoln.

 

I think they are very cool. This one is rotting away in a yard near me.

 

Wow a 'vert, I'd drag that thing out of there.

 

Yeah,me too,if I had a place to keep it.It would probably come out in 2 pieces,its really rusty.

 

Demolition Derby is just as legitimate of a form of sport as drag racing , circle tracking or any other. . Winning derby folks tend to use cars that can be built to give/take a beating like the '64-'66 Imperials and '61-'64 Ford Galaxies if they can find solid ones. Most all are smart enough to sell off the parts...trim, glass, inteior parts, etc, etc not needed to rodders/restorers. Ironically, I don't remember '58-'60 Lincolns as being very good derby cars back in the day. The '58-'60 T-Birds are.

any poncho stuff in that yard mazdaslam

 

I'm a big fan of these cars, esp. the 2 doors. Here are a couple of pics that I found:

 

hell yeah they can be kool...probably tha greatest 'factory kustom' of tha 50s i can think of..simply over-the-top in styling...if those aint cool, i dont know what is...

 

Ha, I'd hope you're kidding... Anyways, I don't care, that
has nothing to with this post.

All cars that deserve better fates than one or two rounds of slow demolition...
