Lincoln Zephyr Two-Door Sedan, 1935

01

Artifact Overview

The Lincoln Zephyr was introduced in November 1935 for the 1936 model year. Sales of the $4,000+ Model K had fallen sharply during the Great Depression, and the $1,300 Zephyr was intended to bring customers back into Lincoln showrooms. The company built 14,994 Zephyrs for 1936 -- nearly ten times more than the 1,515 Model K Lincolns built that year.
