Look what I just bought...
Just bagged this in Montreal, Quebec. It is an essentially one owner car having been bought new by a lady who quit driving 4 years ago. It was bought by a dealer in Canada a year ago, who went through it and has it all running sweetly. 43,000 miles from new. I plan to fit the same 15" chrome wheels that I had on my Mk 1, if they will fit.

Great find, Gary. Glad to know that it's in your hands instead of someone who won't appreciate as much. ( Remember those clowns that converted Norm's Zephyr convertible into a cartoon car ).
Is the color ermine with salmon interior, drums or discs ?
Mine Zephyr is a '60 just missed the cutoff date for discs by a couple of months. I'll post a few pictures the next time i take it out for a drive.

Discs were an option for the low-line before March or April '60. After that disc
were standard. The original owner purchased the car from Milton Motors in Oakland, Ca. I remember him telling my dad that, if he had waited 2 more months he would have had one with discs but said, at least it has overdrive.
My dad bought it from him in '85.
Milton Motors sold MK2 ZZC new along with Studebakers until late '60 or early'61 and Studebakers until '66.

I am toying with the idea of adding a little oomph to my new Mk2 Zephyr. The stock car has 84bhp, but if you add a MK3 Zodiac head, carb and exhaust manifold it leaps to 109bhp. So, if any of my good Canadian pals should come across a wrecked Zody I would be most interested.
