The Lincoln Capri, introduced in 1952, was a top-of-the-line luxury car that replaced the Cosmopolitan. Featuring a modern design, it boasted a ball joint front suspension and, in 1954, a powerful new OHV V8 engine. Known for its impressive performance, thanks to its powerful engine and sturdy build, the Capri was a formidable competitor in the grueling Carrara-Panamericana road race in Mexico. Today, it remains a highly sought-after classic car, offering a blend of luxury and history.

This particular 1954 Lincoln Capri is a standout example. It features the new OHV V8 engine and the final iteration of this body style, combining modernity and tradition. The car's mint green exterior with a black top is both elegant and eye-catching. The cream/mint interior adds a fresh and sophisticated touch.

The current owner purchased this car seven years ago because it was the identical twin to the car he had when he married his wife and took her on their honeymoon in it. This sentimental connection makes the car even more special to him.

While the restoration is a few years old, the car remains in excellent condition, showcasing high-quality craftsmanship and a rust-free body.

The Capri's attention to detail is evident in its chrome accents, including the massive bumpers and front grille. The interior features cream/mint leather upholstery, providing a comfortable and stylish driving experience. The dashboard's design is inspired by aircraft, and all the features, including power windows, seats, and radio, are in working order.

Under the hood, the Capri's OHV V8 engine delivers impressive power and performance. The car also features a reliable Hydramatic automatic transmission and a well-maintained chassis. The Capri's precise steering, oversized brakes, and comfortable ride make it a joy to drive.
