1940 Lincoln Continental Zephyr | KV Dahl III Garage (Remastered)

In this episode of KV Dahl III Garage, we take a closer look at the 1940 Lincoln Continental Zephyr—the car that launched one of the most legendary luxury nameplates in American automotive history. Originally commissioned by Edsel Ford and designed by Lincoln stylist Bob Gregorie, the first Continental was never intended for mass production. Built on the Lincoln Zephyr platform and powered by a smooth V12 engine, the car blended European-inspired elegance with American craftsmanship—creating a design that would influence luxury cars for decades. KV walks through the details that make this prewar classic so special, from its distinctive styling and handcrafted interior to the engineering that made it one of the most refined cars of its era. We also explore the story behind its creation, why collectors value the first-year Continental so highly, and how this design became one of the most celebrated in automotive history. Today, surviving examples are highly sought after by collectors and often appear at concours events around the world—proof that this 1940 Continental remains one of the most important American luxury cars ever built.
