  Brooklin Models BRK 57 - 1960 Lincoln Continental Mk V Convertible

The 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V was a luxury car that embodied the bold and extravagant design philosophy of the late 1950s and early 1960s. As the final model year of the third-generation Continental (1958-1960), the Mark V was the last of the "big-body" Lincolns before a major downsizing in 1961.

The 1960 Continental Mark V was notable for its massive dimensions—one of the largest unibody cars ever produced. It featured a sleek, squared-off design with a bold, upright grille and prominent tailfins, which were toned down slightly from previous years.

The standard Brooklin Model 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V Convertible (BRK57) was released in March 1996 and deleted in 2009. It is finished in polaris white with cream/red interior, yellow license plate and whitewall tyres. For the last batch the body of the anniversary version was used with a different shade of white. This model has separate chrome door handles and narrow whitewall tyres. The chrome behind the rear seats is a little smaller and the two white parts on each side are separated and not cast with the body. Extravagant chrome trim, giving it a distinct luxury appearance.
