This 1936 Lincoln Zephyr twin-grille is REAL not photoshopped it was part of the Hartung Collection in Glenview, IL. The Collection was old off when Hartung passed away. . . Willard Morrison of Lake Forest, Ill, decided to modify his Zephyr by adding an additional grille, which he patented, along with a similar twin-beaked Packard. Morrison didn't simply add a second grille - he also ventilated the space between the grilles, split the radiator to function behind both grilles, added a water heat setup, and installed a radiator overflow tank, all modifications ostensibly done with the flathead Lincoln V-12's tendency to overheat in mind. The Lincoln still has a 1/2-inch thick safe in the trunk, a remnant from the days when a bar owner in Chicago allegedly owned it.

📅 On February 4, 1922, Ford Motor Company made a game-changing decision by purchasing the struggling luxury automaker Lincoln for $8 million. At the time, Ford was losing market share to General Motors, which offered a variety of models.

👥 Edsel Ford (sitting, left) played a key role in convincing his father, Henry Ford (standing, left), to acquire Lincoln from founder Henry Leland (standing, right) and his son Wilfred (sitting, right). Leland, who had previously co-founded Cadillac before selling it to GM, was a pioneer in precision manufacturing and had founded Lincoln in 1917 to produce Liberty aircraft engines during World War I.

🏆 This strategic move not only saved Lincoln but also helped Ford break into the luxury market, shaping the brand’s future. Under Edsel Ford’s leadership, Lincoln became known for elegant design and engineering excellence, paving the way for legendary models like the Lincoln Zephyr and the Continental.
