  3. If your going to restore it, ya, pain in the ass getting parts. If your going to rod or customize it, who cares. Go for it.

    there were no zephyrs past 1942

    after the war,they were the same..but were not zephyrs..just lincolns or continentals.

    That looks very complete, but parts (if you need them) are definitely available.

    Continentals are the 2door Lincolns with Continentals, Continentals came in 2 body styles, Coupes and Cabriolets, ONLY, 1940-48.

    All other 46-48 Lincolns were simply Lincolns...the Zephyr name was last used in 1942.

    The automotive term Continental Kit referring to a decorative covered spare tire mounted at the rear with the extended bumper came directly from the 40-48 Lincoln Continentals.

    they were called continentals if they had a continental kit on the back. i can't see if that one has it.

    Load that puppy on the trailer with the engine towards the front. Get a heavy duty trailer, too. It's freakin' heavy! :)

    have fun with it..they are sweet old cars.
     
  22. hotrod-Linkin: A continental kit in the back is one thing. A Lincoln Continental is something else, an exclusive low production volume car with the spare wheel mounted in the back, not a car with a "continental kit". Pasadenahotrods is 100% right.

    I don't see any "fire in the belly" for this car. If were no more entheused than to ask something about price I would pass.
