In the realm of automotive elegance, where craftsmanship meets
nostalgia, one name stands out with timeless grandeur-the 1939
Lincoln Zephyr. A masterpiece from a bygone era, this convertible
sedan is not just a car; it's a symphony of V12 power, exquisite
design, and meticulous restoration.
Under the hood of this automotive marvel lies a heart that beats
with a V12 267 Cubic Inch L-Head engine, producing a robust 110
horsepower. This powerhouse ensures a driving experience that is
not merely a commute but a journey through time, where the purr of
the engine resonates with the echoes of history.
This particular 1939 Lincoln Zephyr holds a prestigious
distinction-it is one of only 302 convertible sedans crafted in
that vintage year. Its Neenah Cream exterior, akin to a creamy
confection, stands out in a world often dominated by mundane hues.
Paired with a luxurious brown leather interior, every curve and
contour of the car becomes a canvas for elegance.
The resurrection of this automotive gem was entrusted to the
skilled hands of Kevin Westmoreland from Cleveland, Georgia. A
maestro in the realm of paint and bodywork, Westmoreland breathed
life back into this classic, ensuring that the restoration journey
was nothing short of extraordinary. No expense was spared in the
resurrection process, with a commitment to using only original or
New Old Stock (NOS) parts.
The meticulous restoration, a labor of love, reached its crescendo
in the year 2000. Since then, this Lincoln Zephyr has garnered
accolades that affirm its unrivaled quality. In 2000, it received
the Best Junior Zephyr award in St. Louis, MO, followed by the Best
Senior Zephyr title in Gloucester, VA, in May 2001. The string of
victories continued with the Best Zephyr of Show at Dearborn, MI,
and the Lincoln Trophy at the LCOC in June 2003. Notably, the car
clinched the prestigious LCOCL Edsel Ford Trophy in September
2003.
This illustrious journey through competitions and triumphs is
complemented by its climate-controlled haven. Since its
restoration, the Lincoln Zephyr has been sheltered in such a
controlled environment, with its odometer clocking less than 1000
miles. Freshly adorned with custom bias-ply look radial Auburn
white wall tires, the car is not just a relic; it's a
spectacle.
The 1939 Lincoln Zephyr is not merely a vehicle; it is an artifact
of history. Conceived by Edsel Ford and designed by the visionary
Eugene Turenne Gregorie, the Zephyr introduced the world to
streamlined aerodynamics. With a low raked windscreen and
integrated fenders, it set the standard for modern design. The name
"Zephyr," derived from the Greek word Zephyrus-the God of the West
Wind, pays homage to its streamlined prowess.
Included with the car is an original tool kit and jack, embodying
the essence of completeness. A detailed undercarriage, coupled with
a show board and an array of trophies, showcases the dedication
invested in preserving this masterpiece. It's not just a car; it's
a testament to an era when automotive design transcended utility
and became art.
In a world enamored by the latest and the fastest, the 1939 Lincoln
Zephyr beckons enthusiasts and connoisseurs to appreciate the
elegance of yesteryears. Mint condition, meticulously restored, and
ready to grace the roads, this convertible sedan is more than a
car; it's a legacy on wheels.
