1939 Lincoln Zephyr ‘Scrape’ Custom
The Lincoln Zephyr is possibly the best blend of retro looks and modern design. The instantly recognisable front end of the 1930’s Lincoln Zephyr is stretched out and widened, to build on the already beautiful design concept. The exquisitely shaped front nose is the perfect balance of being pointed and having a smooth curve. The design of the car swoops lower towards the rear starting out from a tall front section. All this design brilliance doesn’t come easily, it is the product of 4500 hours of painstaking labour, the car was initially a barn find.
Terry Cook who is the designer of the Scrape custom is a huge disciple of the original designers of Lincoln Zephyr. The most interesting part of the build is the grafting of the 1941 Zephyr nose onto the 1939 Zephyr rear. The custom features 1939 Ford headlights, wider fenders, a custom rear window opening, and a heavily chopped swooping roof. The Lincoln Zephyr Scrape custom features modern internals making it future proof, it includes a Chevrolet frame, chevy 350 small block V8, automatic 3 speed transmission.
