The ones I just removed from my car and the ones I removed from another Zephyr had those post with a groove cut around them so they can slide in the moulding . Once they are mounted then a push clip holds it to the body. All the ones I have and seen were made of steel , they were rusty . I made new ones from a piece of round stock the correct diameter and cut them the correct lenth . To put the groove in them I chucked each one in my drill press and held a hacksaw blade against it.

Does anyone know of a supplier for the weatherstrip that goes in the windwings for 38-39 Zephyr ? I have searched through the suppliers and havent found them. Should the frames painted body color ?

Looks like it has 1939 grills. Neat car for sure.

The change was in the 1940 Lincolns, up till then the gears were same as Ford.

If this car has been sitting for a long time and the columbia has never been rebuilt I would be wary about shifting it. The syncro clutch inside the columbia is originaly lined with pads made of cork and after years of sitting and age they will stick to to sycro clutch hub. If they are stuck it can destroy the sun gear when shifted under a load. The replacements are made of Teflon.I would think about putting the car on good jackstands and run it and shift the columbia with the rear wheels off the ground. If it doesnt shift ,pull the hoses from the shift can mounted on the rear axle and check for vacuum. You may need to take the can off and put some Marvel Mystery oil in it and work the piston back and forth by hand or low pressure air,the piston has large leather cups and may be dry.

While building my 39 Zephyr Coupe I noticed my clutch and brake pedal shafts and bushings were shot. The bushings are easy to obtain cause they are same as used on early Fords. The shafts were a different animal and are particular to the Zephyr only. With shafts in hand I tried to find someone to machine them for me but not much luck. It finally occured to me that if the bushing are the same as used on the early Ford clutch release shaft then they must be the same diameter. I had a couple of old clutch shafts that were worn where they go through the bushings on each side of the transmission case but in the middle they were fine. I cut them to the correct lenth using the old Zephyr shafts as a pattern ,drilled a couple of holes and cant tell them from factory. Hang on to them old shafts you never know....

Noticed the torque tube on my 39 Zephyr has a plug in it just in front of the flange that bolts to the banjo housing at about the 8 o'clock position as veiwed from the front looking toward the rear axle. I know the Fords dont have it but all the Lincoln torque tubes that I have seen has them. I do know just about all the driveshaft couplers that I have seen from a Lincoln has wear in it. Could it be that the plug is there to add some oil in there for the coupling. Since the Lincolns have a seal at the pinion,no oil can go up the torque tube like a Ford,just a thought. If it were there to drain any oil that leaks in there from the rear why wouldnt it be located in the bottom at the 6o'clock position?

Had the same problem with my 47 Ford. Turned out to be the starter solenoid.Change it out and had no more slow cranking problems.

The bumper bolts are a Lincoln item.The ones used on 40Fords are about as close as you are gonna find but not correct.

Does anyone know if the clutch and pressure plate used in the later V-12s are the same as used in the V-8 Fords?? I know the Lincoln parts book shows the pressure plate to have a 26H prefix which is not Ford but they look identical,whats the difference?

Coupes have a wooden compartment behind the seat with a hinged door thar flips up.This is where the jack and tool kit are stored.

Will the clutch and pressure plate for the Flathead Ford work in the V-12 engine.The Lincoln parts book shows a different part # than Ford but I dont have a clutch from a V-12 to compare.
