1940 Lincoln-Zephyr (1936)

For 1940 the Zephyr Coupe Sedan was replaced by the Club Coupe, the Convertible Sedan was discontinued and trunk space was increased. The Lincoln-Zephyr Continental of 1940 was the first time the Continental name appeared on a Lincoln car, as a model under the Lincoln-Zephyr, with production starting on 13 December 1939 with the Continental Cabriolet and the Club Coupe from June 1940. The Zephyr name came from the Greek word for the west wind.
