From the 1959 Lincoln brochure:
"The custom-crafted Continental top curves gently into the lower body design. This tautly-fitted soft top has all the appearance of metal, even at a close distance. "

The 1958 and 1960 models shared this same body style and general appearance.

Wheelbase was 131", overall length was 227", and curb weight was approximately 5,200 pounds.
