High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Lincoln Custom was a custom limousine and long- wheelbase touring sedan from Ford's Lincoln luxury division, manufactured only in 1941 and 1942. It was a replacement for the large Model K Lincolns (produced from 1934–1939) and earlier luxury cars of the 1920s and 1930s. The Lincoln Custom was based on the Lincoln Zephyr, a smaller, unit-bodied, mid- range priced vehicle introduced in 1937 with a smaller 292 cu. inch V-12 (based on the Ford V-8). This car competed with the smaller Packard 110, Packard 120 and Cadillac Series 60 and La Salle; smaller cars introduced in the mid-30's to a shrinking luxury car market. The large Lincoln Model K sold 3024 units in 1934, the first year of its production and only 133 units in the last year, 1939. 1940 saw only the Zephyr and the higher priced Continental carrying the Lincoln name. The wheelbase of the Lincoln Custom was 138 inches (3.5 m) compared to the Zephyr's 125 inches (3.2 m). Both vehicles used the same V-12 engine that was enlarged for 1942 to 305 cubic inches (5,000 cm3) with 130 horsepower (97 kW).
