The history of the Zephyr actually can be traced to Edsel Ford. Edsel was Henry’s only son and was gifted with an eye for automotive styling that his father never had. As president of Ford Motor Company from 1919 until 1943, Edsel gave the “austere” Model T Ford line curved surfaces and streamlined lines.  And he liked colors other than black. Henry Ford was famous for stating that “Customers can have [their car] in any color as long as it’s black” and it was Edsel that convinced him to allow other paint colors to be applied to Ford Motor Company cars.

In 1922, Ford, with much lobbying by Edsel, purchased the bankrupt Lincoln Motor Company.  Lincoln was one of the finest automobiles of its generation and Edsel felt it would make an excellent premium line for Ford.  Within a few years, Ford had the Lincoln line of automobiles re-engineered and profitable. It wasn’t until 1936 that Ford produced a lower-priced model to complement its more prestigious Lincoln line. The name Zephyr was chosen and aesthetically the “Lincoln Zephyr” contained design characteristics far ahead of its time.

With its elegant contours and smooth aerodynamics, the Zephyr was a masterpiece of styling and quickly made up approximately eighty percent of Lincoln’s total auto sales. One of the reasons was its engine. Powered by a big V-12, the Zephyr was able to reach a “phenomenal” top speed of 90 mph. And even though the body was constructed in the conventional way with a strong, separate frame, the overall weight of the car was surprisingly light and handled nicely. One new feature that was added to the Zephyr was an all-steel roof (previous roofs were fabric based).

As the folks at Reedman-Toll Lincoln in Langhorne, PA tell us, had it not been for the release of the new mid-range Mercury line of automobiles with a similar style, the Zephyr likely would have been a top seller in the auto industry in the thirties. During World War II, Lincoln changed the name of the Zephyr to the Continental. After the war ended, Lincoln decided to leave the Zephyr name in the history books. It wasn’t until 2006 that Lincoln revisited using the Zephyr name. However, in 2007 the latest model was renamed the Lincoln MKZ.
