Lincoln-Zephyr V12 Coupé 1939
Chassis no. AA46-1181816300198
Châssis n° AA46-1181816300198
Style historiquement significatif
Restaurée aux Etats-Unis dans les années 1990
Importée en Europe en 1998
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.
The Wallace Collection has many snuff boxes, of which this multi-coloured gold creation may be one, though its size (about 3 inches wide) suggests it might have been a pill box instead.

The modernization of the lifestyle of city dwellers is accompanied by a significant increase in the volume of waste produced by families, just as it is becoming more challenging to dump it in empty spaces. The municipality has been setting up waste drop-off points for around twenty years, but they quickly become saturated. The voluntary sector has taken the initiative of setting up door-to-door collection systems, thus enabling people in highly vulnerable situations to have jobs, most of whom are women. Initially, the collection was done with donkey-driven carts but with the disadvantage of slow movement accentuated by the weight of the loads. Motorized tricycles imported from China have emerged as a solution and currently constitute the primary means of transport used with the advantage of their speed. Waste collection is also accompanied by establishing numerous recycling units that help recover waste (metal, plastic, plants, etc.).
La modernisation du mode de vie des citadins s'accompagne d'une augmentation significative du volume de déchets produits par les familles tout comme il devient plus difficile de les déverser dans les espaces vides. La municipalité a mis en place depuis une vingtaine d'années des points de dépôts des déchets mais ceux-ci sont très rapidement saturés. Le secteur associatif a pris l'initiative de mettre en place des systèmes de collecte de porte-à-porte permettant ainsi à des personnes en situation de forte vulnérabilité d'avoir un emploi parmi lesquelles une majorité de femmes. Dans un premier temps, la collecte se faisait avec des charrettes à traction asine mais avec l'inconvénient de la lenteur des déplacements accentués par le poids des chargements. L'es tricycles motorisés importés de Chine se sont imposés comme solution et constituent actuellement le principal moyen de transport utilisé avec l'avantage de sa rapidité. La collecte de déchets s'accompagne également par la mise en place de nombreuses unités de recyclage qui contribuent à valoriser les déchets (métal, plastique, végétaux...).
Collection Building by MVRDV Architects - opened November 2021
This public art depot for the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam NL, features exhibition halls, a sculpture roof garden and a restaurant, in addition to an enormous amount of storage space for art. The public can see what’s going on behind the scenes in a museum and private art collectors will be able to store their own collection under ideal museum conditions. The design – a reflective round volume – responds to its surroundings, Rotterdam’s Museumpark.
Collection Building is an art depot open to the public. A public route zigzags through the building, from the lobby on the ground floor where a café can be found up to an exhibition space, sculpture garden and restaurant on the roof. On the way up the route passes along and through art depots and restoration workshops. In depots visible from the route, the exhibition can be changed on a daily basis by simply moving storage racks so each visit to the building can offer a unique experience. On three floors the route passes through exhibition spaces which will be programmed by Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
The building - which will store the precious art collection of Rotterdam - will also have spaces not accessible to the general public. For example logistics, quarantine and room for private art collections whose owners can visit their art and even enjoy it in private spaces comparable to the art equivalent of a sky box. This is a new commercial service offered by the museum. The roof featuring a restaurant, sculpture garden and exhibition space offers wide views over Rotterdam.
The Collection Building was realised on the northern edge of Rotterdam's Museumpark, realised by OMA with Yves Brunier in 1994. In order to spare the park, the volume is designed as a compact round volume with a small footprint and will be clad with a reflective glass façade. This will make the building less visible and allow reflections, the public can see what is happening elsewhere in the park. Where needed the reflection will be lesser for transparency and to avoid unwanted light effects. 99% of the works will be visible or accessible to the public. The building will feature seven different climatic conditions facilitating ideal conditions for art storage, offices and the public. The ambition was to reach the equivalent of sustainability classification BREEAM Excellent.
Every night, after the sun sets, you can catch a beautiful light show at the Depot. A video installation called “Wasting life on you” by Swiss artist Pilotti Rist will be projected from a colourful pole beside the museum.

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.

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.
An armour-clad horse and rider, in this case the armour created for Otto Heinrich, Count Palatine of the Rhine, in the 1530s. It incorporated a number of new features, including a face-guard and chest-plate for the horse. With the combined weight of armour, it's surprising the horse could move at all.
Photographed a few years ago these portraits of Sydney Starlett are both glamorous and informal. The styling was deliberately minimal (a white shirt and heels) so the focus remained on Sydney.

The first pieces from my brand new jewellery collection.
Each piece is enitirely hand pierced and finished, and made from solid sterling silver.
These product photographs have been beautifully styled by Abigail Percy, my most talented silversmithing teacher. Thanks to her tutelage, I have been able to put together a collection of fabulously finished, whimsical jewellery that, just like my bags, i'm really proud of.
An inscription in the case reads: "Edith A. Claire/Clifton Slater [indecipherable word]/April 1857/[erased word]/exactly".
I cannot find an Edith Claire in the public records who could be this woman. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
