Hang on…isn’t Capri a Ford model? Well, yes that was the case in many markets outside the United States. But back home in Detroit, Ford had several sub-brands. Mercury was one of them, and in 1970, Capri was too. Initially, it was what was called a captive import that was imported from Ford of Europe and sold merely as a Capri. No Ford or any other parent branding was borne on the car. In 1979, things changed for the second generation of the American Capri. Capri was now a model under Ford’s Mercury division and based on the famous Fox platform. So, it was basically like a Fox Body Mustang with different styling. This generation was made as the Mercury Capri between 1979 and 1986. Today, we’ve got one of these curios in the shape of a Connecticut-residing 1985 Mercury Capri Grand Sport.
