Phil Wimbish Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Greetings!I saw posted in my local paper an ad for a 1948 Lincoln Zephyr Convertible Exc. cond. $32,000. Of course you never see one around here so I did call and the owner and his wife were very gracious. I did check it out and it is very nice. I didnt poke around too much but it is said to be rust free, restored around 15 years ago and runs very well. Med. blue with a blue leather interior, black top w/red piping. I wish I could buy it, but I would have to sell something and you know how that goes.The owners name is Charles and is located in Maryland.Phone number is:410-507-7372, they are nice people. Good luck!Call me if you want me input:410 440 3525Still looking for a running V12!! !It's amazing how much prettier these cars are in person than in pictures!!Phil WimbishAnnapolis Md'38 LZ coupePS I thought after the war they were no longer called Zephyrs????PS I would like to know an idea of value in case I decide to buy it. Please Private message me on that if you have any real sense or recent experience.Also, I have some photos I could post, could someone refresh my memory on how to do that?Photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Phil,The name "Zephyr" was not used after the war. I think some folks still consider these cars Zephyrs even tho they are technically "Lincolns". This term also distinquishes them from the Continentals.

imported_v12lincoln Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 A 48 Lincoln Conv. Coupe sold two years ago for 110,000There were 314 made from what I found out from Ford.Much rarer than a continential Conv. well worth what they are asking for it.
