In the early 1930s, Lincoln was facing stiff competition from the Cadillac LaSalle marque and the entry-level Packard. The Zephyr, priced between Fords and the Lincoln K, was introduced in 1935. Its stylish streamlined looks were complimented with many art deco touches both inside and out - the Zephyr was instantly popular.
1942 was a significant year for styling as well as engineering. All models were given longer, higher fenders, the front end sported a bolder grille, and headlamps were flanked by parking lights on either side. Under the hood, the Zephyr was given a new and more reliable 305 cubic-inch V-12 engine.
This example was shipped one month before the attack on Pearl Harbor, while the United States was practicing austerity.
Known as a 'Salesman's car,' or a car a company would buy for a sales representative, this example has what you need to get from point A to point B. It has no heater or radio, and sports vacuum wipers and manual windows, even though electric wipers and hydraulic or vacuum windows were options. Its restoration from 1,000 separate pieces began in 2004, and this Budd-bodied Lincoln-Zephyr Club Coupe is one of only four business coupes registered with the LZOC.
