Details

The Zephyr is hailed as advanced in both art deco styling and construction by the New York Museum of Modern Art, which recognized the 'teardrop' Lincoln Zephyr as the first streamlined car in America. Few Zephyrs exist today, and this all-steel one-piece body and frame features the original unitized construction. Known as 'Wonder Kandy,' this 1937 underwent comprehensive photo-documented restoration with many modern amenities added. Powering this Zephyr is a balanced GM Vortec V8 engine stroked to a 383ci and topped with an Edelbrock 1406 carburetor. Exhaust flows through stainless-steel headers and exhaust pipes, and a custom radiator and custom aluminum 14-gallon fuel tank cool and feed the V8. Power is routed to the rear wheels via GM Turbo 350 automatic transmission with B&M Kustom Bandit shift kit with neutral safety switch and gear reduction starter. Other components include shaved 6-way adjustable suicide doors with Euro mounts and safety door lock pins, hand-made running boards, frenched rear license plate and louvered rear fender skirts. The top was chopped 4 inches and the fabrication of a custom steel interior console was completed. Additional features include big disc power brakes, Detroit Speed-tuned rack & pinion power steering, and independent rear suspension with a VIAIR Duel 444C air-ride system. The interior features power seats, power windows, Vintage Air climate control, an Ididit chrome tilt steering column, custom-cut tinted safety glass and stitched leather. The interior also features a custom media/navigation/alarm system that includes a Pioneer receiver with 7-inch tilt-up display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, SirusXM radio, navigation and infrared rear-vision camera. The original gauges were restored and converted to a 12-volt system. Sound comes from an industry-leading Memphis Car Audio MC-5004 125 watts X 4 M-Class AB amplifier, 12-inch subwoofers and 6.5-inch midrange drivers. Dual Optima batteries are neatly positioned in the trunk and provide ample power to the air-ride system, proximity sensor alarm, remote doors and trunk poppers. The fully custom Lincoln rides on Enkei Performance machined wheels. Each piece was painted separately and clear coated, then reassembled, color-sanded and polished in House of Kolor Apple Red Kandy paint. Finishing off the exterior look are Racer Innovation 8000K blue/white HID 7-inch bi-xenon headlights, along with LED brake taillights and turn-signal lights.
