The last Lincoln V12 was 1948 not 1940.
I would think Enzo was more influenced by Alfa Romeo V12's, where he worked for many years, or Alfa Romeo rather than Ford.  |

Actuallly Enzo credited the Packard V12 staff cars of the US military for the interest in V12s.
I am not sure Alfa ever did a V12, they did do a "Bimotore" car with two six cylinders powering the chassis.

I agree Packard would have been another influence on Enzo.
The Alfa was called the '12C' in 1936
The Bimotore, I believe, was a twin straight engines. One in front and one behind the driver.

You mean Colombo? I don't know.
If you meant Columbo, I imagine it was his wife that we never got to see on screen.

So! You thought I didn't know how to spell, huh?
I meant what I said! I just wanted to know who influenced him on his selection of trenchcoats.

This isn't exactly what you asked but it is the best answer I have ever found about the coat he wore in the series. According to this he thought he was supposed to wear a coat in that episode and he wasn't, but it became a trademark of the series.
