James Hetfield’s 1937 Lincoln Zephyr was styled by the crew at RD Kustoms but had an interesting history. The car was originally owned by a soldier who served in Vietnam. After returning in 1972, the man disappeared and left his car in his mother’s driveway where it was discovered decades later by Hetfield.
The car’s massive overhaul included a lowered deck lid, custom taillights, dual exhaust, and brass stock trim. The vehicle now possesses a deep candy apple red paint job with chrome accents.
Under the hood, the V12 engine was revitalized with the addition of three Stromberg 97 carburetors and a PowerGen from Powermaster. For extra riding comfort, a C-4 automatic transmission was also installed. Other upgrades were made to the radiator as well. The sadistic flare design led to the nickname “Voodoo Priest.” It won the 2012 H.A. Bagdasarian Award for the “World’s Most Beautiful Custom.”
