Vehicle Description
WHEN THE AUTOMOTIVE DESIGNERS "HIT ONE OUT OF THE PARK" IT ALWAYS
BECOMES ICONIC .... 37 FORD ...57 CHEVY... THE TRI 5 NOMADS AND 32
THRU 34 FORDS..... WELL IN 1939 AND 40 THE ZEPHYR V12 COUPE WAS THE
ONE TO OWN IF YOU COULD AFFORD IT ..THE CAR WAS INTRODUCED TO HELP
BRIDGE THE PRICE CHASM BETWEEN THE "LINCOLN" AND THE FORD SO THE
ZEPHYR WAS INTRODUCED TO FIT INTO THAT PRICE NICHE... THE RICH MANS
FORD AND THE POOR MAN'S LINCOLN SO TO SPEAK......
THEY INTRODUCED THE FLATHEAD V12 AND IT WAS A HIT, "THE SMOOTHEST
POWER PLANT AVAILABLE", PLENTY OF POWER AND SMOOTH AS
SILK......
STREET RODDERS HAVE ALWAYS PRIZED THE COUPES AND THE LINCOLN WAS NO
DIFFERENT... IN THE SIXTIES THEY WERE PRIZED FOR THE
FAT-FLATHEAD..
IN THE SEVENTIES WE BEGAN CUTTING THEM UP , CHOPPING TOPS AND
CHANNELING....ANYTHING TO LOWER THE PROFILE AND MAKE IT LONGER AND
SWOOPIER..... THE BEST "ASS" IN THE 40'S THEY USED TO SAY.........
FAT FENDERS, GREAT ASS, AND A V12???? HOW COULD A MAN ASK FOR
MORE.........
THIS CAR REMINDS ME OF A GENTLEMAN'S HOT ROD RIGHT OUT OF THE
SIXTIES ..... LARGE INVESTMENT... BEST OF EVERYTHING, RECEIPTS TO
PROVE IT AND IMMACULATE.....SOMEBODY LOVED THIS CAR AND IT SHOWS
EVERYWHERE........... PRICED ON THE MONEY.
