The song is Please Please Me by the Beatles.
What a beautiful car. Definitely the single man’s sled back in the day. You would be the envy of the block if you owned this beauty.
Packard 120 for both.
l lived in Beijing for 7 years, and l would always run over to Shanghai every few months. There l would visit the Shanghai Automotive Museum, surprisingly good and fresh, with a uniquely designed spiral display of the cars with new additions placed every few months. One that is permanently displayed is a black 1939 Lincoln Zephyr two door teardrop coupe, one of my favorites in the collection. lt is nice to see the car as taken of POV of the driver. Enjoyed it immensely.
The 1937 Zephyr coupe is the finest example of this model...
I love these old cars. One thing that jumps out looking at the front seat ergonomics, even rich people were not fat in 1938
Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. Not the highlighted song, but the reference you made when you opened the hood. Nice!

The Lincoln is the way to go. It's looks way cooler than the other 3. And I am never biased....
There was one of these regularly on the road in Dallas in the 80s. The license plate read "MISS BOOP," referring to Betty Boop, I assume. It was always a treat to glimpse her purring the boulevards of the historic district back in the day. Haven't seen her in years. An absolute beauty, gone but not forgotten.

1938, to me, is much more beautiful!🏅
The maroon Zephyr is a celebration of the technological advancements that occurred throughout the 30's all bundled into one tear shaped, awesomely beautiful car.
The Zephyr is so beautiful sleek and rare. This car looks like its moving standing still.
one of my favourite cars of all time
I had a chance to buy a 39 Zephyr that was in Cedar Rapids Iowa but they had swapped out the motor for a inline 6. It was a restorer and was in fair shape but I passed because the original motor was swapped out. They tried to tell me it was the original motor 😂
Based on looks only and not reliability, I would go with the Zephyr on both counts. I really like the look.
This car is absolutely beautiful.
Slightly newer model than the Green Hornet's Black Beauty from the 1940 serial series.
The low horizontally themed1938 horizontal grille was a landmark design and greatly influenced front end styling from that point on - vertical chrome prow was out. One consequence was the by 1940 most makes had adopted the theme, and Packard looked distinctly old fashioned. The 41 Cadillac cemented the trend. The Zephyr (along with the Airflow) was peak Streamline Moderne, including the interiors. Bob Gregorie did most of the Ford styling in those days with an assist from Edsel. The design staff was rediculously small compared to GM, and yet they consistently turned out good products. Ford was vetoing engineering updates left and right (famously holding out on hydraulic brakes until 39 and IFS until he was dead) but he generally let Edsel handle styling. (Edsel had a reputation as patron of the arts; he also commissioned the Diego Rivera murals - depicting Ford factory - at the DIA which can still be seen today; and which caused scandal at the time)
