Thanks Bomber ,that was fun. '39 does it for me.

 

Awesome cars !!

 

I've been a big fan of Zephyr's since the early '70s:

Jake Moran's '38 Coupe

Now that is cool. The intro with the Art Deco streamline trains, planes, boats, and race car is priceless. Love the Zephyrs!

 

The Zephyr in the film is a 1936 4 Door Sedan. 1937 saw the bumpers change to horizontally straight with a slight V shape to emulate the streamline design. The “90 miles per hour” in the script is no joke. I had both of my late fathers LZ’s (‘37 Coupe, ‘36 Coupe-Sedan) up to 80 with ease, especially as both were equipped with Columbia OD’s. Great old promo film!
