The 1940 Lincoln Zephyr Continental convertible offered here is widely recognized as the car given to New York Yankees legend Babe Ruth by Yankees president Joe McCarthy. While no paperwork accompanies the car directly attesting to Ruth’s ownership, it is known to have arrived in Canada during WWII in the ownership of an American sports writer, who claimed Ruth received several cars as gifts and had given the car to the writer. It subsequently was owned by several Canadian collectors and was also displayed at the Cars of the Stars Museum in Niagara Falls and Toronto’s Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. It was then purchased by collector Michael Dingman, who had it restored to the very high standard it still exhibits today. In fact, it may well be the best example in the world.
