Larger and more powerful than the previous year, the 1940 Zephyr coupe featured a larger glass area and one-piece rear window, front window vents, and sculptured bodywork in place of running boards. Its swept back and fender skirts enhance the graceful lines.

This gorgeous coupe was restored about a decade ago and proceeded to win first place in several judged events. Significant recognition includes Junior and Senior status with the Lincoln-Zephyr Owners Club and a First in the Emeritus Class from the Lincoln Continental Owners Club. This car was also featured in Continental magazine, issue number 264. It has since been driven and shows only moderate patina. The doors and panels have a very good fit on a nicely prepped body, while the paint shows signs of age and use. All of the original Ford glass, sans the doors, is original. The trunk area is also complete, with a spare, jack and tool set. Overall, the car remains well-restored with minimal attention required. One of Ford’s prettiest designs, the Zephyr is a highly-prized item in any collecting circle.
