Classic Car Overview

1939 LINCOLN ZEPHYR 267 C.I. V12 CONVERTIBLE COUPE 1 of 640 Zephyr Convertibles produced for 1939 Steel body Older restoration 267 CI V-12 engine 3-speed manual transmission Columbia overdrive Leather upholstery Chrome bumpers and trimLuxury at its finest.West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and outstanding example of a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr V12 Convertible Coupe. Reportedly only 649 of these hand built 1939 Lincoln Zephyr V12 Convertible Coupe models were built with very few still known to exist according to the Lincoln Zephyr Owners Club.One of just 640 Convertible Coupes built in 1939Older restoration from a renown collection that presents beautifullyV-12 backed with highly desirable overdrive transmissionCCCA Full ClassicThis was one of the sweetest rides you could by in 1939. Imagine the looks back in the day, to drive a sporty luxury convertible and these prestigious Lincoln Zephyr models were all of that and more. The Zephyr was Lincolns response to the depression and one of major significance. It was seen as the first successfully designed streamlined car available in the U.S. and was powered by a water cooled 4784cc (292c.i.) V12 engine on a 125 wheelbase! Vacuum assisted brakes were standard, important for stopping well for such a large car, and a 3 speed gearbox was matched to a Columbia two speed rear axle. Introduced in 1936 and structurally revised for 1940 and heavily face lifted, not for the better, in 1942. It returned after the war as a warmed up continuation but without the Zephyr name.The car is strikingly handsome in a Red finish that showcases the cars voluptuous lines, this Convertible Coupe features a Tan leather interior that coordinates well with the exterior. Fitted with the legendary Lincoln V-12 and an overdrive transmission, this rare and stylish 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Convertible Coupe makes an ideal choice for further touring, or simply cruising on the great American highway, just as it did for the man who conceived the legendary car from the start, Edsel Ford.You will be hard pressed to find anyone to dispute that the Lincoln Zephyr is one of the most elegant automobiles ever to roll off the Lincoln assembly line. Originally designed as a custom bodied special for Edsel Ford, Bob Gregories Mark I Convertible seems to only look better and better as the years have passed. Powered by the long stroke V12 derived from Fords flathead V8 and one of the first cars ever to be recognized as something more than just an automobile by both the New Yorks Museum of Modern Art & the Classic Car Club of America, amongst others, and one of the finest examples of automobile as art it remains to this day. An ageless design to be sure and a highly coveted CCCA Classic making these cars extremely collectible and prized amongst Zephyr enthusiasts.More than almost 80 years later they are one of the few such models still as attractive today as they were to buyers when new. The car was built on a 125 inch wheelbase channel section frame with a central X crossmember. Inside bench seats dressed in Tan leather seat four comfortably and the car boasts a woodgrain instrument panel that houses the standard array of Gold tone gauges in a beautiful period Art Deco theme with its original AM radio! The clock matching the speedometer dresses up the passenger side and the car has a power top and original factory added options of both the AM Radio and Heater and side mirror.Moving this nearly 4,000 pound convertible is its original V12 engine mated to its original standard column shift 3 speed manual transmission which featured synchronized second and third gears. This rare Lincoln will still run down the road at freeway speeds with no hesitation, she has no wobbles or creaks. This car is an all steel car. She has obviously been in a private collection in a controlled environment for many years.There can only be very few miles on the car since its unibody (body welded to the frame) cosmetic and mechanical restoration. This is a rust free car that retains all of its original body panels including floors, rockers, and trunk with very straight panels. That factor is extremely important on a unibody designed car such as this. Completely restored from the ground up mechanically, cosmetically, and correctly. The floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas are completely solid and rust-free and the car has has no signs of any accidents - a razor straight body and obviously an always garaged and cherished car since new with no rust! The original spare wheel and tire is still located in their rightful storage place in the trunk.The original V12 267 c.i. engine is extremely strong and powerful and this particular car drives magnificently - must be driven to be fully appreciated - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day car a run for its money! This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored 1939 Lincoln Zephyr V12 Convertible Coupe, a car which has obviously always been exquisitely maintained and stored the car under the most ideal conditions, this is definitely a car you can show and enjoy today and which is undisputedly very rare, highly desirable, and a superb collectible and unabused example of one of the outstanding designs of the early pre-war art deco period!This is one very desirable pre-war CCCA full classic for any classic American car enthusiast or collector to add to his collection, a very honest and exquisitely restored, both cosmetically and mechanically, example of a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr V12 Convertible Coupe and a sure-fire investment thats sure to appreciate over the years for any classic American car collector or Lincoln Zephyr enthusiast!
