STORY

The Zephyr was a mid-size luxury sedan sold by Lincoln for the 2006 model year, reviving the name of the Lincoln-Zephyr of the 1930s and 1940s. It was built on Ford's CD3 platform alongside the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, and it introduced Lincoln's modern split-wing grille design language. After just one year it was renamed MKZ for 2007, which made the Zephyr a short-lived transitional model.
