58L-Y8 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 1948 Lincoln Zephyr Convertible - $5800 - Maine - Project https://maine.craigslist.org/cto/d/shapleigh-1948-lincoln-zephyr/7148892354.html# Original V12 motor. Car runs beautifully. Have many extra parts. Would make a great restoration project. Can hear it run when you come up. Call Tom (207) 4-thirty-two-443-eight I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1948 Lincoln 'Zephyr' convertible. Note: 1946-'48 non-Continental Lincolns were no longer promoted as Zephyrs through were continuation of that series in all but name. Production numbers for these is unknown, but they're survival rate is extremely low. Ironically, there are likely twenty restored 1946-'48 Lincoln Continental cabriolets for every one of these in any condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter S Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 it's gonna take a lot of love but what a touch of prewar flash in a drabber postwar world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron65 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 My favorite car is the '40-'41 Continental Cabriolet, but I think I prefer the Zephyr in the postwar years. Neat car! The weird half (three-quarters?) of me would buy it, spiff up the interior a bit, get a set of tires, make sure it's safe, and drive it around as-is. It probably deserves a restoration, but beaters like that call out to me loudly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Take a closer look at the color of the cowl, which is the original body color, its a silver-gray metallic. With a dark green interior and black top, that was one striking Lincoln convertible new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) 1936-'48 Lincoln semi-unit-bodies were painted uniformly throughout the outside body color including the cowls, which are rarely color changed during subsequent resprays.

auburnseeker Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The silver gray color looks like a spray bomb done to the firewall. Looks like they hit everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
