History
In 1952, the Capri replaced the Cosmopolitan - which, however, was still manufactured - as the top model. The fresher styled vehicles were available as a 4-door sedan, a hardtop coupe and a convertible with 2 doors each. Like its sister models, the Capri had an overhead V8 engine with 5201 cc, the 118 kW (160 bhp) at 3900 / min. developed. The engine power was transmitted via a "Hydramatic" automatic transmission to the rear wheels. While the bodies remain the same in the following year, the engine of the same size now develops 151 kW (205 bhp).
In 1954, the vehicles had increased in size and weight; they were about 25 mm longer and 25 mm wider. There was a large chrome-plated metal V under the Lincoln emblem on the hood. The engine remained the same. In 1955, the styling was slightly revised: The grille lost its chrome crossbar. There was a larger engine: From 5588 cc he drew 165 kW (225 bhp) at 4400 / min.
