Edsel Fords adventurous spirit manifested in a number of outstanding Ford products, one of the most notable of which was the Lincoln Zephyr, one of the most successful collaborations between the artistically minded Edsel and his designer of choice, Bob Gregorie. Aero design was proliferating in the Art Deco period in everything from trains to appliances, but most automotive efforts were rejected by the public due to their inherent clumsiness. Not the Zephyr, which in its initial form showed rare unity of design. First planned as a rear-engine layout, the Zephyr finally emerged with a V-12 adaptation of Fords flathead V-8, with identical stroke but reduced piston area. The V-12 received numerous technical improvements over its service life, and later models such as this 1948 Zephyr cabriolet were some of the smoothest-running cars on the road. This is an outstanding example of the post-war style based on pre-war design. Currently the mileage shows 74,682 and the VIN is 8H181665. This vehicle is being sold on clear and clean title. Currently the horn is inoperable. Be sure to check out the video on the MotoeXotica YouTube channel. What are you waiting for? GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!!
