1940 Lincoln-Zephyr Coupe For Sale by Auction

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Auburn Fall event, 29 August - 1 September 2019. Estimate:$75, 000 - $100, 000 292 cu. in. V-12 engineOne of 1, 256 coupes from 1940Well-preserved older restorationAmerica’s first successful streamlined car When introduced in 1936, the all-new Lincoln-Zephyr saved the company from certain extinction. Envisioned by Edsel Ford and his lead designer, Eugene T. “Bob” Gregorie, the Zephyr provided Lincoln with a mid-market luxury car to compete with the likes of LaSalle and Packard’s 120. The costly coachbuilt Model K was nearing the end of its lifespan, and with fewer buyers opting for these large and expensive cars, Lincoln needed a series production car that could offer similar levels of prestige at a more affordable price. The gorgeous, streamlined Zephyr delivered just that, thanks to the use of a V-12 engine. This desirable 1940 Lincoln-Zephyr Coupe presents in fine order, wearing a well-preserved, older restoration. The handsome color scheme of Coach Maroon over a matching maroon broadcloth interior suits the curves and details of the bodywork. The flowing, streamlined body is in fine order, the exterior brightwork displaying a warm luster. Inside, maroon fabric covers the seats and panels and is accented with period-correct optional gold-plated trim in place of the usual chrome. With its V-12 power and sublime, futuristic styling, Lincoln-Zephyr Coupes were quite popular in hot rod and “kustom” car culture, and as a result, few uncut cars survive. This attractive, well-restored example is wonderfully suited to enjoyment in club events and for touring and would make a welcome addition to any collection of significant Art Deco automobiles. Please not this title is in transit. To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys. com/ en/ auctions/ af19.
