1954 Lincoln Capri -- Lincoln unveiled the Capri for the 1952 model
year and it replaced the Cosmopolitan as their Premier Luxury car.
The Capri name was derived from the Italian island off the Gulf of
Naples. The Capri would see 3 generations up until 1959. Here we
have a 1954 model but this one is far from its original standing.
The paint looks striking and was done by Jeff Nichelson. It's a
Black Base, then Red Pearl, and then Red Kandy, all PPG. It really
commands your attention. As you walk around it you can quickly tell
so much custom work has gone into this ride. The great Gene
Winfield helped start this build off back in the early 2000s! She
started life as a 4-door sedan and was converted to a 2-door
Hardtop! Speaking of tops, the top has been chopped 5 1/2 inches!
'55 Cadillac Headlamps were sectioned into the front fender, is
sporting a '55 Lincoln Grill and '56 Packard taillights were
chosen. Ford Aerostar springs lowered it down in the front and the
rear is dropped 4' with blocks. Inside the 64' Oldsmobile lipstick
red leather interior contrasts well with the exterior, looks sharp
and is in nice shape. Once your eyes move past the seats you can't
help but notice the skull sitting atop a Torque Wrench Shifter. She
has a custom-made console, Bluetooth Stereo in Dash and Custom
Upholstered Trunk. Under the hood is a 302ci V8 backed by a C6
Automatic Transmission. The odometer is inoperable. This Lincoln is
known at many shows and is nicknamed "Betty." Per the owner, Betty,
has won the James Dean Award every time she was entered. She won
several times at Custom Car Revival. The title is clean and clear
and ready to be transferred into your name now. If you want a
highly customized classic that is certain to turn heads anywhere
you take it. Includes: Leather interior, AM/FM/CD Radio, Hub Caps,
and White Wall Radial Tires.
