So if I follow that star, it will lead me to...

It will lead you to fins. Eight-pointed star for Lincoln lines up to 1960, four-pointed star: Continentals and everything ‘61 on.

One of my friends has a coupe and my neighbor has a convertible ‘57. My friend’s coupe has the weird transparent air condition tubes going to the roof.

The clear tubes were certainly an interesting innovation. My ‘59 has the simpler solution of ducts running through the arm rests, but in both cases the rear passengers are better served than in most cars.

Interesting that Lincoln very much had their own thing going with the roofline to maximize rear seat window area, but backed away from it for the landau-style roof on the ‘58-’60. Or, more correctly, just pushed the whole roof up for the “boxtop” look. The two-angle C-pillar on the Packard is kind of reminiscent of something like a Pontiac:

Tailfins and wrap around windshields are overdue for a comeback.
Though the former might look odd on a 2-box crossover.
