Lynn,
The oil manufacturers who specialise in making grades for vintage and classic vehicles are still producing lubricants with zinc in. In the UK, Morris Lubricants state they use it in the Golden Film classic oil and the Australian company, Penrite specify a "High Zinc anti-wear additive package" in their Classic oils.
