This 1940 Lincoln Continental Zephyr is my father's first car, which he still drives today. You may have seen an earlier glimpse of this car in my earlier post, '60 Years -Same Car, Same Couple.' He first dated my Mom with this beauty and subsequently married her. Upon birth, I was brought home from the hospital in the Lincoln and my sister and I were later fortunate to travel around the USA in Car Caravans (an annual 100 classic cars tour event). This year Mom & Dad celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in the Lincoln. This is my entry for the Vintage/Antique contest. Thank you for looking and leaving a comment.

It looks like it just came out of the showroom! I wonder what that car is worth these days. It has to be a lot! Outstanding entry for the vintage contest, Doug. Excellent shot, too.

Doug, So much family history behind this beautiful classic. I would recommend having documentation of it all (if you don't already). I can tell it's your dad's pride, and joy. Great contest entry.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
What a beautiful car and a great narrative Doug. The Lincoln looks to be in pristine condition - would love to take her for a drive, top down, of course!!! Great post.

I saw a site that had one for sale for $47,500 Gibbs. It probably isn't in as good of shape as this beauty.
You are very lucky to have parents like this.
I like the reflections in the car. Looks like barn doors.
Great shot and probably another winner for you.

This is a beautiful car and a nice story behind it too. It will make a fine entry for the contest Doug.

The classic car has an amazing history in your family! What a treasure! Great contest entry and surely a winner.

The Lincoln in my family was newer, a late '50's model, but there's no beating the styling of these gorgeous cars. Kudos to your folks for keeping it in pristine shape. I also really like the low angle you used here. It looks more like the classic auto ads I remember from my early years... low angles exude the power of the vehicle.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
I love the parallel between your parents' marriage and the car. Great things endure!
