Lead Zephyr

Owner: Tony Pisano

The Lincoln Zepher is regarded by many as one of the most beautiful automobiles ever produced. As usual, Boyd was able to make it even better. Things got rolling with a call to Art Morrison for one of his chassis. The chassis utilizes independent front and rear suspension. The front end features beefy control arms, coil-over shock absorbers and lots of polished billet aluminum, while a Corvette center section with coil-over shocks resides in the rear. At each corner, Wilwood disc brakes perform the stopping duties, with a set of 18-inch Boyd Coddington wheels wrapped in Goodyear rubber.

The hand-fabricated steel body is quite different from the original Lincoln. Some of the changes include a chopped top, sectioned and lengthened body and pancaked hood. Upon completion of the body sculpting Boyd chose Dupont Graphite Gray over Boyd Yellow to show it off. Under the hood is a Ford big-block pumping out 460hp with a C6 transmission.

The Lead Zephyr's interior is clad in yards of tan Connolly leather; other interior amenities include a Boyd Coddington steering wheel, tilt steering column, custom gauges and an Alpine sound system.
