Not to take anything away from the coupes...here's Oliver Hart driving the balls off his at Spa. Check out the pass coming out of the top of Raidillon (~0:50 mark), made that Chevron B5 look like it was standing still.
Same car, different driver at Misano. Overall better video and sound.

My grade school band teacher drove one of those, except I *think* it was a hatchback. It was red.
1936 Lincoln Zephyr sedan at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan in February.
“Moving forward while standing still. Streamlining was the hot new design trend in 1936.
“The Zephyr joined a host of products-from trains to toasters-styled with flowing teardrop shapes suggesting motion. People loved it. Its V-shaped grille slices the air like a boat prow parts water. Headlights blend smoothly into the front fenders. Rear fenders hug the body, and fender skirts hide the rear wheels.
“Even the taillights are streamlined.
The Lincoln Zephyr was named after a train, the Burlington Zephyr, which set many speed records.
“Eighty percent of all Lincoln sales in 1936 were Zephyrs.
“Using a design innovation called unit-body construction, Lincoln designers created a strong yet lightweight body.
Aerodynamics— the science of airflow around moving objects— began to influence the design of planes, trains, and cars in the 1930s. Publicity photos paired the Zephyr with vehicles that inspired its shape.
