  1. Spring sale going on. I have posted about ten item that my Zephyr friends might be interested in. Photos to come.
  2. Keith here. It's been awhile since I posted. I want to let everyone to know I'm posting a lot of reproduction items on Ebay this week and next. Every few days there will be new Zephyr items for sale. Thanks for all your support throughout the years.
  3. Hello, Keith here. My contact info: Keith Lee Owner, Knobsoup, Inc. 10303 Vincent Farm Lane White Marsh, MD 21162 702 588-1934 knobsoup@gmail.com I recast '40 and '40 Zephyr wheels, interior items for the '36 thru '48 Lincoln and custom requested items. Regards, Keith
  4. Keith here. The knob pictured is incorrect. Somewhere in it's history someone has exchanged it for a suitable replacement. I can tell by the photo ( speedometer )the car is a Zephyr, not a Zephyr Continental. The knobs for both were the same, however the Continental knobs have red lettering and the Zephyr ivory. The correct knob is the one on the left-hand side in the photo attached. Several years ago I wrote an article for the Way of the Zephyr outlining the interior knobs for the '36 through "41 Zephyr years. The B/W photo of the '41 layout is from the article.

  5. From my understanding, 15 inch were standard on the '42 Zephyr. Folks liked them because they had the clips on them and '41 hubcaps would fit on them...looking standard. My '41 had 15 inch rims. Somewhere along the way someone put them on.. Problem I had was I needed to put spacers on the wheels to keep the new radials from scraping the tie rods on sharp corners. And the spare tire won't fit in the trunk well...too fat.
  6. Jeff, Nice photos! Yes spring is here. Casting Several steering wheels. '40 Translucent Red and a '41 "Peachglow " for a Conv. Coupe similar to yours but '41.
  7. Keith here. I don't want to presume, are you sure you're mounting the right pulls? the Ashtray and Glovebox pulls look alike but the mounting is different. The screws for the Glovebox pulls mount straight down about 1/1/8" apart, like you said., The screws for the the ashtray mount on a 45 degree angle, and again about 1 5/8" apart. You may have them switched.
  8. Keith here. Most of you know me as the guy that makes Lincoln Zephyr interior plastic items. That’s true, however not only do I make knobs I also make other stuff for other makes of cars or projects that challenge or inspire me. Case in point. For some time now I’ve wanted to make a mold of a gearshift knob and be able to suspend objects in the clear resin. But what could I suspend in it? Then I reached back into my teenage brain. In my feckless and callow youth my friends and I would make fake coins using aluminum foil and a dime or quarter. We would carefully cut them out and place them on the floor in the halls of the my Junior High and wait till someone thought they found a dime, stoop over the pick it up and crumple the fake coin. Great fun. The clear resin in the dome acts as a magnifying lens so any object encased appears larger in size. From time to time I’ll post other things I’m working on. Perhaps you may find them interesting.
  9. Colin, many thanks. I'll call.
  10. Looking for a source for 1937 glove box liner. Any help, greatly appreciated. Be safe.
  11. Keith here. Putting a few items on ebay that Knobbsoup makes. If you know anyone that's interested, let them know. Thanks. Take care.
  12. Keith here. Yes, I make all three firewall boots. 1936 thru '39 single hole. 1940 thru '48 two hole for Zephyrs (second hole is for the gearshift lever0 and 1940 thru '48 for the Continentals ( because the Connies have a lower dash profile the boot is slightly different with a curve.) Photos to come.
