Steve - those Conti images are incredible! Never knew Lincoln made that protoype, clearly shows the benefit of lowering the beltline even with same greenhouse. Hudson struck gold 10 years before the rest and had it and Packard united to develop ultra low cars for '54 or '55, the business case for a shorter wheelbase Packard four-place coupe would have been that much easier. Cadillac played this opportunity perfectly with its '55-58 Eldorado, locking in on the minimal tooling needed to get the customer to pay $2000 more for a car with a material cost not much higher than car it was based on.
