Hello,
Up for Auction is a 1942 Lincoln Zephyr 4 door Sedan.
I'm listing this car for a friend of mine who's husband unfortunately passed away a few years ago. I honestly don't know much about the history of the car, but will try to describe the car as best and as honestly as I can.
The body of the car is in outstanding condition. I've crawled under the car several times and pulled back the carpeting. There is absolutely no rust anywhere on the car. The floor pans, trunk, inner fenders...etc. are all rust free. There are a few very small dents, one on the top of the left front fender, that I can see, but only under florescent lights. The car looks like it was repainted once before many years ago. I believe the paint is a single stage paint. There are some surface scratches around the trunk area, but I believe these could be buffed out. I've put a body magnet over the car and I can't find any signs of bondo. All of the panels, truck, doors, hood..etc. line up very well and are very strait. The passenger door does stick a little, could be a hinge that is sticking. Over all the body is in great condition, strait and accident free.
The trim on the car is in fairly good shape. It looks like the head light bezels where replaced and have been polished. All of the stainless trim is in good shape and has been polished. However, I do believe there is some trim that goes on the sides of the hood that is missing. (see pictures) The car does have the stainless 1942 grill. It is in very nice shape and from what I have been told is hard to find. Many of the earlier cars (1942) had the grills replaced with the newer 1946-7 grills. The bumpers, front and back are in great shape, strait and the chrome is still very nice.
The interior looks to have been re-done a few years ago as well. From what I have researched, the interior is very period correct. It seems to be a felt like material with the correct pattern (see pictures) This includes the door panels, headliner and seats. The stainless pieces for the door panels is all intact. I did see that the drive window crank is not attached.
The dash and all of the gauges are in really nice shape. I did find a receipt in the glove box for a company that had fixed (reconditioned ) the speedometer. I did notice that the courtesy lights are missing from the back seat door panels, but the wires are there. The light bezels look like they are in the box of parts that will come with the car. The radio is also in the box, but not currently in the dash. I believe this was taken out to be fixed as well.
The engine is a V12 and looks very clean under the hood. The car still has the 6 volt electrical system. Under the hood is very clean, but again looks period correct. No one has tried to rattle can anything on the car. Currently the car is not running only because it has a dead battery which I'm in the process of resolving as soon as the new battery is delivered. The car ran and drove great a few years ago before the owner passed away. I'm guessing the new owner might need to remove the old gas from the tank. I will say that there is little to no gas in the tank currently. Again, the car ran very well and was registered and insured back in early 2011.
Finally, the owner that passed away owned the car for the better part of last 50 years. The car was always in a garage here in Colorado. I believe it was a good solid car and that he was trying to fix little items (radio, speedo..etc) as he found the time. As an example, it looks like all of the rubber on the car, fender seals, truck seal door seals have been replaced. All of the glass in the car is in fantastic condition and looks to be original.
This car is only being sold in the US. Shipping is the buyers responsibility! I can help load the car on the transport truck. Deposit of $500 is required in 48 hours of auction closing and full payment within 3 Days by certified/cashiers check. Please do not bid if you have no intention of paying for the car! The lady I'm selling the car for is moving from her home and we have a limited amount of time to sell the car.
Not sure what else I can add, but please feel free to email me if you have questions and I will do the best I can to get those answered ASAP.
Thank you for looking.

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept
Sat, Nov 22 2014"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.

Vettel has been F1's most successful driver since Michael Schumacher, though he's struggled to match his previous accomplishments in 2014.
Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014
Sun, Dec 28 2014Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil
