Vehicle Description
The two-tone style inside and out makes this 1955 Lincoln Capri
instantly attractive. Plus, you have some extra distinction with an
exclusive V8, power windows, and true cruiser style. So if you're
looking for premium, vintage, and stylish...it's all here.
Lincoln has been a company only interested in serving the premium
end of the spectrum, and so this Capri shows it off correctly. They
would only sell a small fraction compared to their Ford siblings in
1955, but that's because the Capri didn't do anything for the
masses. That's why the two-door version was exclusively a hardtop
with no pillars around the side glass - and they made sure you had
plenty of bright trim to highlight that! The two-tone has an
upper-class kind of style with the creamy yellow body giving an
added delicate feel to the body's curves. And the black roof has
the gloss of a grand piano. And of course, there's the brightwork.
The bumpers hug the car's form while also giving you classic
Dagmars both front and rear. The intricate hood ornament, Lincoln
crest, stock wheel covers, whitewalls, rear fender skirts, and
full-length trim are all part of this authentic and attractive
package.
The pillarless hardtop lets people get a good look inside, and so
the yellow and black two-tone continues for a vivid presentation.
The whole dash is a classic work of art, that works with the
steering wheel to deliver an eye-pleasing symmetrical kind of
style. The overall impression is a large space that has the right
investments to be quite a comfortable cruiser. Plus, the power
windows let you take down all the side glass of this hardtop
without ever leaving the driver's seat.
Under the hood is something special. This was the dawn of the OHV
motor era, and Lincoln's Y-block helped show the way forward for
all cars under the Ford family. The Capri helped premier this
powerhouse, but it was enlarged in 1955, and a 341 cubic-inch
example like this is exclusive to the year. It's ready to show off
with the distinct green block, golden air topper, and matching
Lincoln-script valve covers that are pure vintage cool. Not only is
this motor fun trivia for this car, but it's also a strong
powerhouse that's ideal for cruising. And when you do go out for a
drive, the automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes
make this classic an easy cruiser.
This Lincoln gives you an authentic feel of premium vintage style
that few others get to experience on this level. So if you're
looking for a classic with upper-class distinction, call today!
