    Zephyr trunk hinge...

     



    Hey guys Im converting a 1937 Lincoln Zephyr back into a coupe after being made a pick up back in the probation days. I have things pretty close with the exception of mounting the trunk lid. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with the trunk hinges on these cars? Im wondering how close they might be to similar years and models of Fords and Chevys as I can find them with ease. Thanks in advance for any direction on this matter.

    How about bagging the OEM's and adapting in a set of Universal Rocky Hinge Trunk Hinges? Trunk Hinges

    Yeah that is what I was thinking... not being familiar with the original zephyr hinges I was thinking about 35. 36.37'ish Ford coupe hinges. I was just curious how close it would be. Ive had to wing the internal bracing anyway so original isn't an issue. I wanted to get everything situated before I chop it.

    Hey Tony I just saw this... The zeph is under the tarp and on the very back burner at this time. Sorry to say but I haven't even tried to find the hinges yet. I'm stuck on building seat frames, a boat, an off road bike trailer, my Model A. No extra parts my friend, Sorry.
