Great points and interesting observation about the Merc seating. After seeing several '61-63 Continentals lately have concluded that the car was really a low slung coupe with 4 doors. No wonder it didn't sell in higher volumes.
Have modified a '60 Park Lane on 126 WB to suggest a Lincoln on 130 WB owing to 4 inch hood stretch. Merc would find its own design voice and on a wheelbase between Ford and Lincoln. As to what Lincoln would have looked like after 1961 is an open question. In this strain of historical revisionism it wouldn't have become a box on wheels, that design reserved for successor to the Mk II. More on that car in a moment, gotta cook dinner on the grill...
