 | | The beltline was edged with full-lenght bright moldings, as divided grille appeared (recalling 1955-56), and the freestanding headlamps gave way to integral units within the grille. |
 | | One Exner touch remained, however: the simulated trunklid spare, though it was also squarish now, carried down into the bumper as on the 1956-57 Continental Mark II. |
