1940 Lincoln Zephyr Continental Cabriolet From David L Cole, editor
of Lincoln, zephyr owners club - "Sales Branch Record card shows
#275 built April 22, 1940, as a black car with red interior and
black top. It was originally scheduled to go to Chester, PA., but
that is scratched out and "Dear" written in its place." "Ford Motor
Co. licensed the car for 1940. The card is stamped TAX PAID and the
license number is recorded as BU-10-79. Also written at the top of
the card is "Memo Dbn Br for caravan 34126 5-7-10" (that 6-digit
number is most likely a sales order number to send the car on that
caravan or whatever it was, as the original Sales Order number was
929784." "A color photo of this 1940 Continental Cabriolet with
Michigan plate for 1940, # BU-10-79, appears on page 8 of Lorin
Sorensens sixth coffee-table book, The Good Old Fords, captioned,
"The pretty Queen of the Ann Arbor Michigan, Cherry Blossom
Festival in 1940, with new Continental Cabriolet" and it has the
pair of road lights on it, as written on the card, "Pr Road Li" Our
Zephyr Continental Cabriolet has been treated to a fresh body off,
nut and bolt restoration. No expense spared through the restoration
process to bring it to a level that would be comparable to when its
sold new in 1940. Restoration receipts and photos are included as
well. Just an incredible example. Every inch of the Zephyr has been
massaged, reconditioned and brought to a highly collectible level
and done factory correct. Needless to say, the Cabriolets in
turnkey condition. In addition, it handles and drives and brakes as
it should. Got to be the finest example anywhere.
