This beautiful restored V-12 Coupe was the second generation of
the Zephyr with the same basic frontal design pioneered on the 1938
model. The long sloping rear-end of the body is exceptional
in design. Over $100,000 was spent on the restoration
and all of the invoices are with the car. It was owned by a
great friend and car collector. He did not spare any expense
to have the Lincoln ready to show and more importantly drive!!
Powered by the original V-12 flathead, Lincoln upted it to 292
cubic inches with a maximum horsepower of 120 in 1940 for better
performance. The previous owner did tasteful upgrades on the power
plant as seen in the pictures. The period correct 3
carburetor setup was his choice as well as a Columbia 2 speed rear
end for highway cruising.
The complete nut and bolt restoration took three years to complete.
(2007-2010) After the restoration, the Zephyr was displayed
in a private collection until 2016 and rarely driven.
However, it was regularly started and serviced in a heated
and air-conditioned private building. THIS LINCOLN WILL BE IN
THE CAR CORRAL AT HERSHEY FROM OCT. 10-13 row P 196-201 call
