I don't know what it is, but If I had the money, I'd look that dude up and just about pay anything he wanted for it!!! I would LOVE to see the inside of it and...get a better look at those back wheels. LOVE that front windshield too and the GRILL!! I wager she's chopped AND Channeled too. Definitely one of the coolest cars I've ever seen! Can't EVEN imagine what the engine is...but you KNOW it's baaaad!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren’t many of the lead sleds of that era that really do it for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted August 25, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted August 25, 2020 I must say though, this ‘39 Zephyr Delivery street rod is very interesting. I love Deliveries. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had very comfortable seats and when you opened the door the seat would swivel and made it easier to get out of the car.

railfancwb Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Think prewar Lincolns had flathead V-12 and maybe even flathead V-16 available. Had to keep up with crosstown competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a beautiful engine as well. Below is a beautiful Ford coupe running a Lincoln V-12. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that the power can be squeezed out of them, but I’ve seen too many stock, or near-stock ones come apart for much less reason than added All that power.

GT4494 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Back in the day a good friend pout a 401 in a Gremlin. Looked factory. Wasn't fast but it would smoke tires better then a Hellcat. Something about Zero weight after the back axle!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
