context_page_description: Zimmer was an American automaker, based in Syracuse, New York. The original company was founded in 1978 as Zimmer Motorcars Corporation by Paul Zimmer.
  Art Zimmer purchased the rights to the company in 1997 and established the Art Zimmer Neo-Classic Motor Car Company which currently builds 10-20 automobiles and 10–20 fully custom 4-door dually Silverado trucks each year.
context_section_description: The Zimmer Golden Spirit was the flagship of the Zimmer Motorcars Corporation with more than 1,500 produced during its production run from 1978 to 1988. The original Golden Spirit was built using a Ford Mustang chassis and drivetrain.
  The second Zimmer Motorcars Corporation offering was the mid-engined Pontiac Fiero-based Quicksilver which was built between 1984 and 1988. The Quicksilver is a two-seat personal luxury car designed by General Motors designer Don "D.A." Johnson. Each Quicksilver was constructed from a complete Fiero donor car, which was dismantled at the Zimmer factory in order to lengthen the chassis by 16". The Fiero bodywork was replaced by a new fiberglass body with styling similar to the Lincoln Mark series but with a sloping nose and pop-up hidden headlamps. The interior was trimmed in leather and wood, and the new body had increased luggage space in the front. The retail price of the Quicksilver was $52,000.
  Both models were built in the same factory in Pompano Beach, Florida, on simultaneous production lines between the years 1979 to 1988.
  Ford supplied new Mustangs, which were then modified by stretching the frame for a longer wheelbase and modifying the bodywork etc.
  The Mustang VIN was retained as it met all the required US safety features at the time.
