The Lincoln Capri is a full-size automobile that was sold by Lincoln. It was introduced for the 1952 model year and discontinued soon after the 1959 model year. ==1952–1955== Competing against the Cadillac Series 62 and Packard Series 400,〔 14,342 Capris were sold in its debut year,〔 and nearly double that, 26,640, in 1953.〔 It readily outsold its stablemate, the Cosmopolitan, each year〔 until the Cosmopolitan's demise. In the October, 1952 issue of Popular Mechanics, a Lincoln Capri was tested. 0-60 mph time was 14.8 seconds, while the quarter-mile was 21.3 seconds. At 40 mph, fuel economy was recorded at 21mpg.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=jdwDAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false〕 In 1955, the Capri featured a new Lincoln Y-Block V8 (with greater displacement and, at 8.5:1, higher compression than before),〔 featuring a four-barrel carburetor,〔 mated to a standard (Ford-built)〔 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission.〔 Air conditioning became an option for the first time.〔〔 Riding on a wheelbase and measuring overall,〔 the 1955 Capri was offered as a two-door hardtop coupé ( shipping weight),〔 two-door convertible ( shipping weight),〔 or a four-door sedan ( shipping weight).〔 The Capri was also one of the first vehicles to offer an automatic headlight dimmer as optional equipment. It sold 23,673 copies,〔 amounting to 87% of Lincoln's total output that year,〔 actually down from 29,552 in 1954.〔 Powered by the Lincoln Y-block V8, Lincolns won the top four spots in the Stock Car category of the Pan American Road Race in both 1952 and 1953.〔 In 1954 (its final year) Lincolns took first and second place.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lincoln Capri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
