[FWDLK] The 1939s.

[Louis Rugani <X779@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bill, a very good explanation of companion makes, though the companies'
intents often were and still are confusing.

Lincoln built *three* totally separate 1939 models with almost no
interchangeable parts: the Model K, the Lincoln-Zephyr, and the
Continental.

Life Magazine counted the Zephyr as a separate make. But they didn't
even count Crosley, which bowed in 1939 along with Mercury.

Plus there were some minor makes Life omitted, such as Detroit Electric,
which was still in production, and White and International would build
cars on special order, and there was Checker and Yellow Coach, and there
was even a GMC car. So there were probably close to thirty 1939 makes,
counting everybody.

Regards....
Lou
