Artifact Overview
Edsel Ford's prototype Lincoln Continental was based on the streamlined Lincoln Zephyr. Ford and designer E.T. "Bob" Gregorie extended the Zephyr's hood 12 inches, lowered its body three inches, and removed the running boards, among other modifications. The result was a long, low car with an elegant European look. The first-generation production Lincoln Continental was built from 1940 through 1948.
