1937 Zephyr

[munzieb]

The Lincoln Zephyr was named after the Greek god of the West Wind.  Ford’s aerodynamic design for 1937 competed directly with the Chrysler Airflow and the Pierce Arrow. The art deco style grill and integrated front fenders combined with the teardrop shaped front lights, gave it an upscale elegant look that bespoke the Lincoln line of cars. It had a small V-12 engine with 110 HP, 4.4 Liter with a top speed of 90 mph. Its production run was from 1936 through 19 42 with over 15,000 cards produced in the first year. All production ended with the beginning of WWII and Ford discontinued using the Zephyr name after WWII. The car came in Coup, Cabriolet and 4 door models. Plaque is 1/8” BBPW with ¼” backer. Finish is shellac with gloss lacquer.

I like it and, before I even saw you words about the Chrysler Airflow, I was reminded of my Dad's 1936 Chrysler that was still running well when it was sold in 1960.  Sometimes I wonder if it is still running and I like to think that it is.
