Cover Story: The New Lincoln Zephyr

On the Cover: ...is pictured the new car that Lincoln proposes as the 2006 Lincoln Zephyr! No kidding -- they're doing it again! In this magazine, we have studied how Lincoln teased the public in 1933 and '34 with a prototype of a dramatic new car, developed it for production and introduced it in 1935, and brought it out as the 1936 Lincoln-Zephyr, Lincoln's bid for a share in the medium-price car market. Seventy years later, Lincoln is following the same scenario. The car on our covers was conceived and built in 2003, and was shown to the public early in 2004, with the promise that a production version would be offered to the public late in 2005 as a 2006 model -- in the midsize premium segment of the auto market.
