1954 Lincoln Capri Special Custom Coupe

You’re looking at a racing champion and maybe one of the original muscle cars, an American performance machine built a decade before the era of scoops, stripes and garish graphics. The Lincoln Capri won’t challenge the ’Cuda at the drag strip and yes, it is slathered in chrome and weighs in at 4250 pounds. Still, the Capri is an unlikely hero of 1950s road racing, a luxury car that earned fame in the grueling 2135-mile Carrera Panamericana. Rugged, rapid and well-engineered, 1952 to 1954 Capris were especially strong competitors.
