West Peterson Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I would be interested in the ac on the v-12 I saw one on a 41 at Dearborn meet in 1959 so I know it can be done. I'm going to drive my 42 so ac would be a great advantage here in Florida. LeeLeeThis is how it appears on our 1940. With just a little bit more creativity, a little shaving of the standard "ears" off the compressor, and painting it black, it would look almost normal. There is a 6-volt battery in the engine compartment, and another 6-volt battery in the trunk, run in series. All original electrics run off of the front battery only.

zephyrdave Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I found the car on a farm rusted out and no motor. Bought the car, found picks of a real convertible sedan, cut, slice and dice to get same look as original. Made a folding top. Made a double wall frame with crossmember. Added a V8 and some paint, then went for a drive to a show in Detroit where someone really liked it. I agreed to let him take care of it for me if he paid me. Some might say it's sold, but after all that work I still like to think it's mine. I still have my 38 and 39 coupes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Derek's 41 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just finished a complete brake job, installed new muffler, and repaired the electrical problem at the distributor I've been struggling with for a while. Thanks to all of your posts, otherwise it would have sat much longer. Now I need to stop oil leak and oil consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Zobian Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hi, I need a good core steering wheel for my 1939 Zephyr sedan. One that I can send out to be restored. That way I can still drive my car until I get the restored steering wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beltfed Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Mr. Kapp, I notice several things about your '39 Zephyr if you don't mind. I noticed the speedo transmission on the fire wall so I assume it has a Columbia at the rear. Then I noticed that your vacuum port behind the carb has a rubber hose that is suppose to go the the vacuum control mounted on the steering box. It looks disconnected. Can you help me with that? One other question please, I decided to have Jim Durall repair my Columbia vacuum control but don't have the cable that goes to the dash. Nor do I know where the knob that operates it goes on the dash. Can you help with that also? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Knapp Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) These photos were evidently taken during a "work in progress" condition. Notice that the throttle cable also is not connected. The overdrive control cable splits into 2 cables. One goes to the axle control and the other goes to the speedometer compensator.Nearly all the Columbia parts you will need are available at Columbia Two Speed Parts, Inc. <cite>http://www.columbiatwospeedparts.com/</cite>The overdrive control knob is under the dashboard just below the starter button.

40ZephSedan Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Highest of the Heights - That's Our Lincolns!! The highest height in Cleveland,OH (Cuyahoga County) is Broadview Heights!!Not driving much lately though. With the back axle off for new rear rubber body/spring isolators, and painting the bottom first time in 75 years, the Zeph is off the road for now. Gotta paint the bottom before putting the axle back in, (& new 220 line to garage for a bigger compressor, &...) But maybe it is not the soy bean plastic in the steering wheel that stinks - check out those holes in the cross member?!?!? Surprise-Surprise!

Ken/Alabama Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) This Zephyr belongs to LZOC Member Kenny Rogers in Alabama.It has V-12 , Columbia Two Speed, Radio and Hot Air heater.He drives and enjoys his Zephyr and so far he has logged over 30k miles since a total frame off restoration. Like he says, "If all you want to do is look at them ,its a lot cheaper to buy a picture of one".

Peter Zobian Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'm confused regarding the spare tire mount on the 1939 Zephyr. When you fold out the spare on its mounting bracket, isn't the spare upside down? How do you unbolt the wheel from its carrier -- without lying down on the ground?Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
