Jim Popp had an appreciation for virtually all generations of
Lincoln, reflected in the wide variety housed within his Shrine of
the Holy Grille. He could even appreciate a well-crafted custom
honoring the beautiful lines of the classic 1939 Zephyr
three-window coupe, as shown here. The Shrine's coupe features a
custom fiberglass body, with suicide doors and authentic 1941
Zephyr grille panels, mounted on a custom Superior chassis and
motivated by a 4.6 DOHC Cobra V-8 with fuel-injection and automatic
transmission. Within is a comfortable interior taken directly from
a Lincoln Mark VII. The result is a showcase of several generations
of Ford styling and engineering, in a drivable modern platform -
and one of the most exciting vehicles at the cruise-in, to
boot.
Please note that this vehicle is being sold with title in
