Hi Diego,
Please be aware that the 1958 Mark 3, 1959 Mark 4 and the 1960 Mark 5 where not named Lincoln Continental. They were stricxtly Continentals with their own MEL Continental Division.
I owned a 1959 Continental Mark IV coupe, totally original, from 1981 until the year 2000, and the only major repairs I had to make on that car were a brake master cylinder replacement and a new radiator. Not even one of the seven power window motors failed in those 19 years! I especially loved the 1959 model because of the tail lights being encased in Chrome. My former Continental Mark IV remains in great condition, continuing to be loved and cared for by the purchaser from the year 2000, currently residing in Southern New Jersey. Great cars and styling, IMHO‼️‼️‼️‼️

Even Ford called them Lincoln Continentals:
