1952-55 The Capri became a separate line and the top series for 1952 with the Lincoln restyle. Body styles included a four door sedan, two door hardtop,and a convertible. Styling was tasteful and subdued, especially in comparison to contemporary Cadillacs. Like most cars of this era, they werefairly heavy, weighing in at a prodigous 4635 lb. (with driver) The 1952 Lincolns were technically innovative cars, introducing the first ball joint front suspension of any car, and Ford's first overhead valve V-8. This engine displaced 317.5 cid, and produced 205 bhp -quite respectable in 1952.
