01
Artifact Overview
Lincoln introduced the Zephyr for 1936 in response to the Great Depression. Sales of the $4,000+ Model K had fallen sharply, and the $1,300 Zephyr was intended to bring customers back into Lincoln showrooms. The Zephyr quickly became Lincoln's most important car, accounting for more than 90 percent of the company's production in the 1936 model year.
