The
Anniversary Capri convertible was a special Lincoln show car
created to celebrate FoMoCo's golden anniversary. It was claimed
that $4,000 worth of 14-carat gold was used to plate the bumpers,
grille and body trim. Three other modified Lincolns toured with
the Anniversary Capri. They were the Maharajah, Midshipman, and
Cadet.
|
Maharajah
was one of four show cars that Lincoln displayed during the 1953
auto show in Chicago. Based on a Capri four-door sedan, the
Maharajah was painted in an ultra-luxurious gold pearl paint and a
white roof. Interior metal trim was also done in gold. |
