1957 Lincoln owned and restyled by Bill Hines of Garden Grove, California. Bill's Lincoln was nosed, decked and shaved for door handles. It was fit with a Landau-top, custom bumpers and a tube grille, before Bill gave it one of his signature fadeaway paint jobs. Around 1997 Bill drove the car to Branson, Missouri to attend the first Hot August Nights. Since then the car has been re-painted. In 2016 it was still in the Hines family, displayed at the Darryl Starbird Museum in Oklahoma.
