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.

Lincoln-Zephyr was a first step in Ford surpassing Chrysler - Steve @IndieAuto
The 1936-42 Lincoln-Zephyr is a more important car than is commonly assumed. Not only did it offer notably advanced styling and engineering, but it also represented the Ford Motor Company’s first meaningful attempt to compete outside of the low-priced field — and eventually surpass Chrysler as the second best-selling automaker.
In general, Chrysler didn’t lose altitude so much as Ford belatedly…
