As I thought about the cars I’ve seen over the last few years, I knew there was one car that seeems to have virtually dissapered, the 1970 Mercury Capri. My sister bought a brand new Capri from our cousin. Bruce worked at a Long Island Mercury dealer and “got her a great deal on this marvelous new car”. Now I know Bruce did not manufacture the car, but my sister never forgave him as the car proved very un-reliable. In fact, the picture below is of a Capri positioned as a junk yard sign, my sister would agree with this use of the car.
In retrospect, this was a pretty neat car and handled quite well for its size and price. The one thing that does seem questionable is why one rarely see an early Capri on the road now a days.
