Ken is correct, the mechanicals are much easier to deal with. the bodies on the '40 Lincoln Zephyr Continentals were largely hand formed and a lot of lead was used in the rear trunk section to get the contours, they are also unit-body construction, making them a bit more challenging where bodywork is concerned. '40 was the first production year for the Lincoln Zephyr Continental, they are outstanding automobiles in my opinion.
