"Cutaway" 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Sedan, October 3, 1938
Add to SetSummary
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.
