Would This Be The Coolest Car in 1938?... [PIC]

OK. You're a 17 year old who just got his license and your parents bought you a brand new Zephyr V12 Coupe. It was the most popular model that year, but I often wonder who bought it and for what or whom. It's not really a family car like a sedan, but it was the year that most of the heating crankcase ventilation and oiling problems were worked out of that 267 cid V12. Hydraulic lifters were also adopted and the engine engine now red lined at 3900 rpm and 200 lb/ft of torque was available through the top half of rpms. I'm thinking it may have been a factory built luxury hot rod to take Mary Lou to the prom. It may have been the quintessential 'chick magnet' for 1938... if your parents were loaded. In my senior year of High School in 1964, it was the rich kids on the other side of town with Corvettes (I hated them!). They formed a forbidden fraternity called "The Kingsmen", all with "Princeton" haircuts wearing dark blue blazers with crest and white 'dickies' (remember them?). School officials finally banned that dress code as being "too elitist". LOL
