3" chop, 2 seater, air ride

Finally done, so I can drive the 39 original, or the 38, not so original.

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know what the deal is with 37 zephyr hubcaps. Some are steel with stainless, some are totally stainless and some are stainless spider. Aftermarket, dealer option or ? I have a few steel with stainless and two totally stainless caps. Thanks in advance for replies.

I don't know if you are going for authenticity, but you can make your own out of aluminum that almost matches the original look. This trim is used in the boat industry. I have used this on 4 zephyrs I have built. I drilled and tapped the trim, then added 10/32 bolts. The heads were then cut off, so now you have studs. Trim was bent on a wood buck.

Will this be acceptable?

This engine is still for sale located outside of Toronto.

I don't know, but apparently she has a lot of documentation for the engine. I think it was going to be installed in one of his Bonneville cars.

A friend of mine would like to sell the cherished Lincoln zephyr V12 of her late husband. He was an avid Lincoln collector and Bonneville racer. It is a supercharged V12 that was built with the best of everything. It has been dinoed and now is on an engine stand where it has run. The engine never got the chance to be installed in a car. This is one of a kind, you'll never see another one. Call Laura at 705 440 6160

First pic with the larger cooling fins and wide five is 38 zephyr

Beltfed, If you end up buying the correct plastic handles, I will buy your chrome handles for my 39 glove boxes doors. Thanks Dave

Looking for glove box handles and upper headlight lens retainer clips for 39 zephyr. Any help appreciated. Thanks Dave

Anybody out there have two 38 or 39 Lincoln Zephyr glove box door handles? Thanks

That's strange because the dashes on my 4 zephyrs 37, 38 and 39 were all welded in. The consoles were bolted in.

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.

The intake looks like V8 ford.

My car.

I have 2 1938 zephyr wide 5 rear brake drums. Never been turned, still 12" Email me if you need them.

Still time to vote if you haven't yet. Voting ends Feb. 3 2014. You might even win tickets to the show were you might see the mayor in a drunken stuper. He likes to party.

Thanks for the support guys. BTW there are better pics at this link, just type in 1939 Lincoln zephyr and scroll down till you see them.http://www.flickr.com/

Up here in the frozen north(Toronto) ten cars were selected from local cruise nights to compete against each other for grand champion of the cruise nationals at the Toronto International Auto Show. If you go to the link provided you can vote for your favorite car. http://www.autoshow.ca/cias2014/cruise/vote/index.php

Thanks guys.

Anybody heard from Earle Brown. Called a week ago, left message, then called yesterday, still no luck. Need front spring stud/bushings.

I bought a Bob Drake pump for my newly rebuilt engine. It ran for about 10 minutes and the pump arm broke. I took the internals and top casing from the Bob Drake pump and installed them on the old pump and haven't had any problems. I compared the pump arms, the original is beefier. As for mounting, I removed the oil tube, mounted the pump to the tube and then dropped the whole assembly onto the intake flange.

Well, I removed the intake and found that the gasket had delaminated and somehow the delaminated parts (front and rear of manifold) pushed their way out. It is a paper gasket that I think came in a gasket set. I bought a new gasket that is laminated with a wire mesh, something like a head gasket. Maybe the solid paper one was from China.
