Hi! I'm Charlie Wolters. I bought this car in 2005, restored it, took these pictures, and sold it in 2007.
The car is presently owned by Dr. Bill Stiles. Bill is now interested in selling.
If you are interested in owning this very rare classic car,
please contact Bill at Drbstiles@aol.com.

I like it. I wouldn't buy it though. I also like Neoclassics like Zimmers.

  • WHY DRIVE A NEO-CLASSIC MOTOR CAR?
When looking at a 1920s or '30s classic Duesenberg, most people just love the design and style. Their mind is filled with visions of grace, grandeur and the Great Gatsby. They say, "What fun it would be to own and drive a motor car like that." Unfortunately, the realities of owning and driving a classic or antique motor car eliminate most people from ever bothering to purchase one.
The cost factor is not really the major deterrent. Although very rare classic motor cars can cost several millions of dollars, you can find nice classics in the $70,000 to $150,000 price range. But for most people, classic cars are still totally impractical. The lack of readily available parts and service is a major drawback. The lack of modern safety equipment is another problem. And let's face it, the old classics are not very comfortable to drive or ride in. Thus was born the neo-classic motor car (neo=new), the best of the old and the new together in one grand motor car: a match made in heaven.A classic car you can enjoy driving not just looking at.
The new ZIMMER® Golden Spirit is the finest neo-classic motor car ever manufactured. The exterior design is pure classic grandeur right out of the Great Gatsby era, handmade to the highest quality possible.
Underneath, it is all a brand new, modern Ford/Mustang (2 door model) or Lincoln Town Car (4 door model). You can drive into any Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer and get full service, Ford parts and warranty work. It has all the latest safety and modern engineering features available. It's a joy to drive.
So, if you are ready for a motor car that is distinctive, that sets you apart from the "pack," that says, "I've arrived," that looks classic but is new and comfortable, a ZIMMER® Golden Spirit is for you. If you are a little tired of paying $75,000 to $150,000 for a car you can't find in a lot full of Fords and Chevies, then a ZIMMER® Golden Spirit is for you.

He did a good job. But it's kinda ugly. I wouldn't consider this a "collector's car" by any means. But there is a lot of worse chopped cars out there

Hi `Brent, it's great 2 C U online...It may not be a collector car 2 U, but for some it is ? I must admit it is different/unique and there seem to be many that like rides that are different.

Isn't it great that everyone has so many choices in their forms of transportation I think it all depends on what a person is smok'in or drink'in ? "Beauty can be in the eyes of the Beer Holders" Sometimes, many times, Maybe

I keep learning all kinds of `stuff on the MCF & on my crazy `journey of life
Peace/Happiness 2 U & readers,

As something to rent for a special occasion, Zimmers and those replica Ford Model As or even the Monte turned into a Custom Cloud has a novelty appeal. But for me, no desire to own.

Very unique. As easy as it would be to call it ugly, I won't. Looks to me like a lot of work went into that. I doubt that there's another car on the road exactly like it, and that is the kind of car in which I can show the most appreciation for

I'm sorry, but I don't like that car every time I see it. It's an attempt to make a cheaper car into a clone of a certain high end luxury car.
