This 1940 Lincoln-Zephyr Continental V12 Convertible is a California car just out of an estate collection. Attractive metallic blue with red interior and the subject of a much older restoration. Its been off the road for several years and is not currently running. A complete, solid, and honest car thats been patiently awaiting simple cosmetic and mechanical recommissioning.
The Lincoln Zephyr was a series of cars introduced in 1936. The Zephyr was originally introduced as the Lincoln-Zephyr, and was Lincolns 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.
One of approximately 350 Lincoln-Zephyr Continental Cabriolets produced for 1940
Designed by E.T. Bob Gregorie, Inspired by Edsel Ford
