Photograph, Cutaway Side View Illustration of 1936 Lincoln Zephyr Automobile

01

Artifact Overview

The Lincoln Zephyr, produced from 1936 to 1942, 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.
