Rolf Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi Dave, can you post a picture of the other script on the other side of the hood?? Not too familiar with '42's, but I have a couple of scripts I am not sure about, and a hubcap for a '42, thanks, Rolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Phil Knapp Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 1942 Zephyr Sedan. Hood side script is unique to '42 Zephyr. Continental merely says "Lincoln Continental". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Phil Knapp Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 1942 Zephyr hubcap.(Sorry about that, Cecil. I just couldn't resist!) <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mitchell Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi Rolf, I would post a photo of the Zephyr, but I am looking for that one for a friend who has more important issues to deal with just now, and I am no Lincoln expert. He told me that he needed one, and I thought I would try to find it and if it wasn't too expensive, surprise him with it. I will look at my Continental and see what it looks like. Thanks so much.

CBoz Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hey Phil -- do you have a pic of a hubcap that's *not* defective? The printing is upside down on that one. I had to throw out about half the hubcaps I had; they had the same problem! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Phil Knapp Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hey Cecil,You might want to consult your oculist. That hubcap looks OK to me. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />I just had cataract surgery and the doctor put the replacement lens in upside down. Now I see everything inverted but I'm getting used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Wow, another hornets nest hit with a stick, Phils pic of the Zephyr shows a very unique emblem I don't recall seeing, if that is a '42 Continental coupe to the side of it, the side trim looks just like other continentals to me, and is certainly not like the one on the Zephyr, although it is still not too clear to me, and as to the hubcap question, some thrifty '42 owners did not pop for the optional "balanced hubcap" feature that always kept the script right side up no matter how the wheel turned, I thought everyone knew about that!! Anyone need about 100 lbs of L parts?? I am really overwhelmed by all this stuff, OK, we can get serious again if you want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Phil Knapp Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 All Continentals (except for 1940) had the usual "Lincoln Continental" script on the side of the cowl in 1941 and on the hood in 1942-48. 1942 Zephyrs had this unique hood side script and were not officially called "Zephyr" after the war. Sorry I don't have a better photo. This is going to be a tough item to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Au Contraire Phil, '42's were actually the last real Zephyrs, found out when doing carburetors a while back, the '42 had a LZ script 06H carburetor with a 4 hole mounting base!! All by it's self. I do not ever recall seeing that '42 hood emblem, would like to know what words are on it, another interesting tidbit, got a '42 steering wheel in this load of parts, and it is a yellowish ivory color, but is exactly the same configuration as the maroon postwar wheels, the center of the horn ring seems a slightly different color also, for such a short production as they had, there is a lot to know about the '42's for sure. Speaking of steering wheels, I got a steering wheel mold in this load, and one re-cast PW maroon wheel, that looks pretty good, so it shows that it does work, but there is no explanatory info about the materials used or how it is mixed and shaded etc etc, anyone have any expertise in molding plastic?? Sure would like to get in production on that operation, Rolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Phil Knapp Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 You are quite correct, Rolf. 1942 was the last year of the Lincoln "Zephyr" name. After WW-II the same car was called the Lincoln 12.There's a couple of pictures of a nice maroon 1942 Zephyr sedan (for sale at $38k) at http://www.oldantiquecars.com/Zephyr.html The hood side trim is quite clearly visible.

imported_Phil Knapp Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Nice site - for late model stuff. Were you able to find anything for a 1942 Lincoln on it? I couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
