58 Lincoln

[bigdrag1]

Would anybody here have any photos of built up 58 Lincolns they would like to share??

Not aware of any kit of a 58 Lincoln.

If so, I want one .

Here's a 1959 Lincoln convertible in my collection.

[John Goschke]

There was no kit of the '58 Lincoln. AMT did do promotional and friction model versions. IIRC they were four-door hardtops, and, of course, molded in warp-prone acetate. The '59 and '60 were available as two-door hardtop and convertible styrene kits from AMT. Modelhaus may offer a resin kit of the '58.

Modelhaus does make a '58 2 door hardtop Lincoln. If you click here it's the ordering info. No pic do they have of the kit though.

Edit: OK I did some digging and here's a pic of what they have. Not the best pic as it's behind a case, and the sign is covering part of it.

Hope this helps!

I have a 59 and 60? one convertible I think still? and one a HT promo than needs roof repaired with the friction chassis.

If anyone is interested I am looking for 67,68,69 Bonnevilles and the 70 HT one.

I've seen a couple of the '58 promos in the past, but I've never seen a good one.

As you can imagine, this long straight body style did not fair well in the warpage department being made of acetate plastic.

I have 2 of the 60s, one hardtop & one convertible, & a '59 hardtop, all annuals.

I hope to build all of them.........some day!

I have a 60 Convert I bought from Joe Wheat MANY Years ago

Shortly after his Resin kits were announced in that Other mag.

Too bad the only Resin he offers now are Built Painted and not kits!!

 

Sadly though covered in THICK paint that I did strip, the 3 trim pieces in the right front fender

insert were sanded down, and need to be replaced!!!

My promo is pretty straight compared to most other than for the roof part...its a blue one.

[FordRodnKustom]

Then there was this tin toy..had one of these when I was kid, loved it. I'd like to have another one.

[Bob Ellis]

I opened up a bag of potato chips, and inside were a lot of '58 Lincoln promos. Actually, the potato chips were flatter.

Nice Lincoln Ron, I have one of those kits in mint condition, and hopefully I'll get around to building it some day.

Here's a 1960 Lincoln promo from my collection.  

[peekay]

I bought this Craftsman Series '59 Lincoln this year. It's really an unassembled promo, but without the warpage.
