The Lincoln Zephyr was a series of cars introduced in 1936. The Zephyr was originally introduced as the Lincoln-Zephyr, and was Lincoln's second model line during the years before WW2. The Zephyr was a range of luxury vehicles that were sold as sedans, coupes, and convertibles. The Lincoln Zephyr was fitted with a 4.4L V12 engine and was in production until 1942. Designed by Chief Stylist Eugene "Bob" Gregorie Jr. to have what he termed Continental styling. This European-influenced design ethos involved the use of waterfall-like grilles, long hoods, and short rear decks. To this day, the streamlined styling of the Zephyr is viewed by many as one of the most beautiful mass-produced American automobiles of all time.
This 1940 Lincoln-Zephyr Continental V12 Convertible is a California car recently out of an estate collection. The subject of an older restoration, the car is still very attractive. The metallic blue exterior is still holding well and the red interior upholstery is in great condition. The V12 engine fires right up and runs great, and the transmission functions properly in all the gears. This car is a complete car that's awaiting simple cosmetic and mechanical reconditioning.
