Jim Ayres Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hi AllI don't post here often, but I obtained a 1936 Lincoln Zephyr salesman's training filmstrip and wanted to share it with you. It doesn't have the original sound, but I've added some good music to it.Enjoy! 1936 Lincoln Zephyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBoz Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks, Jim. I'm afraid the record that went along with it is long gone, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Very interesting how Lincoln came out with the Zephyr (west wind) after Chrysler came out with the Airflow (wind). That skeletal frame structure sure looks like Airflow. Snip off that schnoz in the front and there you go....Airflow. Ha ha...just stirring things up.

CBoz Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Actually, the Zephyr body was better designed on two points: 1) It actually had lower wind resistance due to the pointy beak, and 2) Lincoln was able to execute its unibody construction at considerably less weight (I believe around 800 lbs.)Check out the photo on my webpage that shows the bottom of a '37 coupe's unibody.

ezdusit Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Thanks for sharing this with us Jim. I wonder if Dave Cole or anyone else in the club has the script that was used in the record that accompanied the film strip. It sure would be interesting to hear or read what the sales force was provided with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Ayres Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Glad you guys liked it. The script probably exists somewhere in someones collection. I also found a filmstrip titled "The Exclusive Story of the 1965 Lincoln Continental" which I've posted along with the Zephyr filmstrip. I realized that I already had the script to that filmstrip in the form of a 'Retention Bulletin', confidential and for salesmen only. One day I'm going to do a voice over for the '65 filmstrip using that retention bulletin.Cecil, great job so far on the Zephyr!I also like your choice of colors on the Mustang.
