1958 Lincoln Limo??

Any Lincoln fact related question can be posted here. Questions such as how many Contintenal convertibles were produced in MY1965? How much was the Town Car option in 1969? What size of tire was standard on a 1953 Premiere? or Does the Mark II retractible prototype still exist?

Only 1959 and 1960 Continental Limo.

No 1958 Limo were ever made.

Is this extended? Or did they just add a partition? It kinda looks like they just tacked on a partition.

It is add on or custom job behind front seat.

Does it have curved or flat back glass?

If it has curved back glass, it is a Lincoln body style otherwise a Continental with flat
back glass.

Same thing with add on factory exterior Lincoln trims on the right side doors.

Can someone verify this? It sure seems like someone just built it off a normal Lincoln.

If there was Limo version of the '58, it would have a longer wheelbase; that one looks to be the standard wheelbase.

It´s standard wheelbase, but this clearly is a original made. No Lincoln emblems on the outside, (No filler or weldings) and the rear seat is jamb back a littel bit.
