One of America's most successful 'flat-pack' housing producers at the time, Zimmer Manufacturing diversified into the luxury goods business during the late 1970s. Not content with making his own yachts, motor homes and recreational vehicles, Paul Zimmer decided to create a range of bespoke automobiles. An unashamedly neo-classical design, the first Zimmer Golden Spirit rolled off the line at Pompano Beach, Florida in 1980. With its blend of Great Gatsby era styling and modern running gear, it was intended to provide hassle free 'classic' motoring. Built at the rate of approximately 176 cars per year, the Golden Spirit was available in Sport Coupe, Convertible or Sedan guises. Boasting a nationwide dealer network and $10 million annual turnover, the Zimmer Motor Car Division nevertheless fell prey to its parent company's collapse in 1988. Resuscitated by Art Zimmer (no relation) during the late 1990s, the marque has undergone something of a revival in recent years. Owned by celebrities as diverse as the pianist Liberace and basketball star Shaquille O'Neal, early Zimmers have become classic cars in their own right.
