A sensational interpretation of the daring design originally conceived by Edsel Ford and his No. 1 stylist, the talented Eugene T. “Bob” Gregorie, this show-stopping 1939 Lincoln Zephyr takes their collaboration into a higher realm of bold creativity. The foundation for this one-off Rod is a solid one, constructed of 2-inch chromoly tubing that was tig-welded and powder coated to ensure lasting finish and durability. The driving force within this striking Art Deco ride is a 6.0L LS2 V-8 engine mated to a 4L60E automatic transmission and 3.55 final drive with Positraction.
For the smoothest ride possible, it features independent suspension front and rear, with a Corvette-style independent rear suspension. Adjustable coilover shocks are present at all four corners along with vacuum-assisted Wilwood disc brakes with vented rotors. It is impossible to imagine a more ground-hugging rendition of the Lincoln Zephyr’s classic styling, which is emphasized by an aggressive chop of the roof and a beltline midsection channelling that challenges every convention.
Custom Cinnamon Candy and Vanilla two-tone paint with a gold flake accents the Lincoln’s curvaceous contours, and the slammed look is underscored by custom rear fender skirts and specially sculpted bright accents in the form of chromed body-side spears and dropped slim-line bumpers; rear fender spears terminate at the lower tail, cleverly housing twin chromed exhaust outlets, and wide whitewall tires on custom alloy wheels advance the luxury cruiser theme. Suicide doors open to show off a brilliant interior that rivals the exterior for creativity, presenting a custom dash that flows into a center console sculpted to match the rear fenders’ triple horizontal bar motif.
Polished billet controls and trim, a tilt column, power windows, backup camera and Auto Meter vintage-look gauges clustered in a polished oval bezel are joined by snappy Vanilla upholstery and Maroon wool carpeting, the latter of which was also used to trim the trunk. An estimated 7,500 hours were invested in the making of this one-off, custom hand-built 1939 Lincoln Zephyr.
