From wikipedia:

Introduced on November 2. 1935. a rel="rel nofollow" href="https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Lincoln-Zephyr#cite_note-autogenerated155-3" >[3] as a 1936 model. the Lincoln-Zephyr was extremely modern with a low raked windscreen. integrated fenders. and streamlined aerodynamic design. which influenced the name "zephyr". derived from the Greek word zephyrus. or the god of the west wind. It was one of the first successful streamlined cars after the Chrysler Airflow's market resistance. In fact. the Lincoln-Zephyr actually had a lower coefficient of drag than the Airflow. due in part to the prow-like front grille on the Zephyr. The Lincoln-Zephyr succeeded in reigniting sales at Lincoln dealerships in the late 1930s. and from 1941 model year. all Lincolns were Zephyr-based[4] and the Lincoln-Zephyr marque was phased out. Annual production for any year model was not large. but accounted for a large portion of the Lincoln brand's sales. In its first year. 15. 00 were sold. accounting for 80% of Lincoln's total sales.

Production of all American cars halted in 1942 as the country entered World War II. with Lincoln producing the last Lincoln Zephyr on February 10. [5] After the war. most makers restarted production of their prewar lines. and Lincoln was no exception. The Zephyr name. however. was no longer used after 1942. with the cars simply called Lincolns.
