Default LZ Dealership

This might interest some of you. The car to the left rear tire appears out of proportion to the front tire.Might be the experimental space saver spare of the time?

It would be a great picture without that.....it looks like the car is at an angle to the curb so the picture is focused straight on.....the front tires look oversized compared to the car behind it.......Mark

That front coupe looks like it was "placed in the photo". If you look through that car's driver window and windshield, it doesn't seem to match the store front in the background. A.I., circa, 1939? I sure would not mind having one of those beautiful coupes.

The car on the right is a 1937 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe and the car directly behind it in the Showroom also looks like a 1937 LZ. Coupe.
Judging by this, as suggested by 47topless, the 1939 Lincoln Zephyr on the left seems to have been added to the photo at a later time.

I think that photo was editied as the coupe in the front looks and sits like a custom hot rod. I dont think Ford lowered them like the car in the photo. Another clue is the "1939" that was added to the photo.

Just goes to show that perception isn't always reality.

1939 appears to be etched into the building concrete face. Rather odd.

I think it was photo shopped Just like the 39 LZ coupe. The 1939 is not present in the older photo.

I think that this is the original picture:



and someone did a very poor job at inserting the 1939 - note that "1939" has been added to the column above the hood also
