I'm just saying...the 1954 LINCOLN CAPRI CONVERTIBLE was one nice looking automobile. Loving 1:24 scale as I do, I'd have loved to have had a model of this car.
In this article by BOB STEVENS for CARS & PARTS magazine, you can read the reasons why Ford Motor Company hit a Home Run with this car.
Knowing some my fellow collectors here, I'm guessing that you too, would have welcomed this car in model form as well. It's just one we don't see often.

Most of us are influenced with are opinions of some cars that were part of our childhood or of those we owned. For me, though it was a 1953, my Dad owned a Lincoln Cosmopolitan in the very early 1960's and I remember liking the car not for the year it was, but rather because it was a Lincoln.

Thanks George. This is one article I did save. These Lincolns were among my favorite American cars of all time. They were formidable road cars evidence the road race Lincoln's performance in Mexico.

@marmon16, your comment, "This is one article I did save", got me to thinking. Of all the hundreds of automobile magazines I've purchased and subscribed to over the decades, I've not been the type to "save the magazines". However, I did save articles from all of them. From a storage and filing standpoint, it is easy for me to have individual files for each American automobile, and this is what I saved from each of magazine.
In this way, I don't have piles and piles of magazines which consist of many, many advertisements and unrelated car features. I save the articles (of importance to me) in a filing cabinet. The one exception to this is, that I have EVERY issue from #1 to present of the great "Collectible Automobile" magazine that has no advertising in it.
Having all of these fine articles allows me to always immediately find and review whatever article or car I'd like to.
