The seller describes a 1939 Zephyr sedan transformed into a two-door wood-bodied custom, with Golden Orange Pearl paint, sculpted leather upholstery and a later Lincoln Mark VIII V8. Its appeal is the documented build concept, not factory originality. The stated zero-mile field does not establish lifetime mileage, and the divergent asking prices in separate advertisements need a written seller quote.
