Drawing, Cutaway View of 1936 Lincoln Zephyr Automobile
Artifact
Photographic print
Date Made
29 October 1935
Summary
The Lincoln Zephyr, produced from 1936 to 1940, was distinguished from other contemporary cars by its streamlined shape, its rear-hinged "alligator" hood, and its horizontal-bar grille. Less visible, but no less advanced, was Zephyr's unit-body construction. The car's frame and body were integrated into a single, stronger unit, as seen in this cutaway.
