Artifact Overview
The Lincoln Zephyr was introduced 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. Until the 1940 model year, all Zephyrs were distinguished by a split rear window that helped carry the car's streamlined form onto the sloped rear deck.
