Lincoln-Zephyr V12 Coupé 1939

Châssis n° AA46-1181816300198
Style historiquement significatif
Restaurée aux Etats-Unis dans les années 1990

Immatriculée en Espagne comme véhicule de collection
Marque associée plus abordable que Lincoln, le porte-drapeau de Ford, Lincoln-Zephyr débuta en novembre 1935 avec une gamme de trois modèles équipés d'un nouveau moteur V12. Sur ce point, elle était unique dans sa catégorie, toute la concurrence n'offrant que des moteurs à huit cylindres. Avec Mercury, introduite en 1939, Lincoln-Zephyr combla l'écart entre les Ford V8 très abordables et la très coûteuse Lincoln Série K. Conçue par Edsel Ford et supervisée par le « maître styliste » Eugene « Bob » Gregorie, la Lincoln-Zephyr mérita amplement le qualificatif de « révolutionnaire », sa structure unitaire moderne (châssis et caisse monocoque) â étudiée par Tom Tjaarda et construite par Briggs Manufacturing â représentant une première chez Ford Motor Company.
Sa ligne profilée en goutte d'eau à l'avant-garde aussi de l'esthétique automobile contemporaine séduisait avec son pare-brise très incliné, ses phares totalement intégrés, ses roues arrière recouvertes par un carénage et son capot court précédé par une élégante calandre. Si l'aérodynamique Airflow de Chrysler pionnière du genre avait rencontré une résistance certaine de la part de la clientèle, la Lincoln-Zephyr connut immédiatement le succès, les 15 000 exemplaires ou presque vendus dès la première année représentant 80 pour cent des ventes de Lincoln. Et jusqu'au Musée d'Art Moderne de New York qui, dressant sa liste des concepts automobiles les plus significatifs, retint la Lincoln-Zephyr comme la « première automobile aérodynamique réussie ».
Le moteur latéral de 4, 4 litres développé à partir de l'excellent V8 à 90 degrés de Ford se présentait essentiellement comme une version ouverte à 75 degrés et dotée de quatre cylindres de plus et de culasses en aluminium. Les 110 ch aisément disponibles transmis à la route via une boîte manuelle à trois rapports conféraient à la Lincoln-Zephyr une vitesse maximale mesurée de 145 km/h.
Les trains roulants comportaient les traditionnelles suspensions Ford à essieux rigides et ressorts à lames transversaux. Mais dans l'habitacle, ce qui attendait le conducteur d'une Lincoln-Zephyr était tout sauf classique car l'intérieur conçu par Gregorie se présentait comme une étonnante combinaison de détails inspirés par l'aéronautique et de thèmes « arts déco » comme on n'en avait encore jamais vus.
Peinte en vert avec intérieur beige, la voiture offerte ici, un des 2 500 coupés deux portes trois glaces seulement construits en 1939, possède les freins hydrauliques récemment adoptés pour ce millésime. La voiture a été importée de Toronto au Canada en 1998 par un négociant spécialiste de modèles haut de gamme qui l'acheta dans une vente publique pour le compte d'un collectionneur privé résidant à Valence en Espagne. Ce collectionneur céda ensuite la voiture à un négociant de Majorque qui ne la garda que quelques années. En 2008, la voiture fut acquise par l'intermédiaire d'un marchand par le vendeur actuel, membre du Lincoln-Zephyr Owners Club.
Cette Lincoln-Zephyr a été totalement restaurée aux Etats-Unis au début des années 1990 et il n'est pas sans intérêt de noter qu'elle a été peinte avec une laque automobile Duco créée par DuPont au début des années 1920. La voiture est présentée comme étant en excellent état après avoir récemment bénéficié d'une réfection des freins et du montage d'une pompe à essence neuve tandis que le carburateur était amélioré. La voiture a passé le contrôle technique ITV valable pendant cinq ans. Actuellement immatriculée en Espagne comme véhicule de collection, ce superbe coupé deux portes représente une rare occasion d'acquérir une des automobiles américaines les plus représentatives des années 1930.
1939 Lincoln-Zephyr V12 Coupé
Chassis no. AA46-1181816300198
Historically significant design
Restored in the USA in the 1990s
Imported into Europe in 1998
Registered in Spain as an historic vehicle
The lower-priced companion to Ford's flagship Lincoln marque, Lincoln-Zephyr made its debut in November 1935 as a three-model range powered by a new V12 engine. As such, it was unique in its class, all the opposition having eight-cylinder engines. Together with Mercury, introduced in 1939, Lincoln-Zephyr bridged the gap between the affordable Ford V8 and the expensive Lincoln K Series. Conceived by Edsel Ford and overseen by styling maestro Eugene 'Bob' Gregorie, the Lincoln-Zephyr well deserved the description 'revolutionary', its advanced unitary body/chassis - designed by Tom Tjaarda and built by Briggs Manufacturing - being a first for the Ford Motor Company.
Its streamlined 'teardrop' styling too was at the cutting edge of contemporary automotive design, being extremely attractive with a low raked windshield, fully integrated wings, enclosed rear wheels, and a short bonnet fronted by an attractive grille. Whereas Chrysler's pioneering Airflow 'streamliner' had met with serious customer resistance, the Lincoln-Zephyr was an instant success, the almost 15,000 sold in the first year of production amounting to 80% of Lincoln's sales. Indeed, when New York's Museum of Modern Art drew up its list of the most significant automobile designs, the Lincoln-Zephyr was hailed as the 'First Successful Streamlined Car'.
The 4.4-litre sidevalve engine was developed from Ford's successful 90-degree V8, being basically as 75-degree version of the latter with four additional cylinders and aluminium heads. The 110 horsepower on tap was transmitted to the road via a three-speed manual transmission, making the Lincoln-Zephyr a genuine 90mph car.
The running gear incorporated Ford's tried and tested suspension system of live axles and transverse leaf springs. Inside, however, what greeted the Lincoln-Zephyr driver was not in the least conventional, as Gregorie's interior presented a breathtaking combination of aircraft-inspired details and Art Deco themes quite unlike anything seen hitherto.
Finished in green with beige interior, the car offered here is one of only 2,500 two-door, three-window coupés built in 1939, and has the hydraulic brakes newly introduced for that year. The car was imported from Toronto, Canada in 1998 by a dealer in high-quality motor cars, who had purchased it at auction on behalf of a private collector, resident in Valencia, Spain. The collector subsequently sold the car to a dealer in Mallorca, who kept it for only a few years. In 2008 the car was purchased through a dealer by the current vendor, a member of Lincoln-Zephyr Owners Club.
This Lincoln-Zephyr was completely restored in the USA in the early 1990s, and it is worthwhile noting that it has been painted using the Duco automotive lacquer developed by DuPont during the 1920s. The car is described as in generally excellent condition, benefiting from recently overhauled brakes and a new fuel pump, while the carburetor has been upgraded and the car has passed the ITV (technical inspection), which is valid for five years. Currently registered in Spain as an historic vehicle, this beautiful two-door coupe represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic American cars of the 1930s.
This is the meteorite collection of Dr. Phil Plait. A lot of reflective surfaces made this a difficult lighting setup but patience won out in the end.
A shop display inside Adelaide Arcade, September 5, 2013 Australia.
Adelaide Arcade is a shopping arcade in the centre of Adelaide, South Australia. Founded in 1885 with 50 stores, the arcade grew to over 100 shops through the addition of a balcony area in the 1960s. It was one of the first buildings in South Australia to have electric-powered lights.
The arcade is said to be haunted with at least three ghosts claimed to be on the premises. One of these ghosts, (believed to be Francis Cluney, an early caretaker of the arcade who died after falling into the electricity generator in 1887), was claimed to have been recorded on security footage in 2008.

a rabdom collection of all the themes of 52 weeks in 2021, some were made later on, but at least I completed all challenges.
More I found in a shoe box today. I rememer every each one of them how I got them and I how played with them. Please don't just throw the toys away just because you are grown up and heading for the bigger world. The bigger world has no warmth as your childhood. Those trouble free merry days that you can not go back forever.
