1939 Lincoln Zephyr V-12

Although I recognize the merit of certain Ford vehicles in history, I am not a big Ford enthusiast.  I have often said that, in my family, a "foreign car" meant something not built by GM.  That being said, I have always liked the Lincoln Zephyrs of the late 1930's.  Modern Mechanix posted this ad for a V-12 Zephyr from the April 1939 issue of National Geographic.
