I saw this car at Lake Murray this morning.

@Pilchuck It looks a little bit like the Ford Capri we had over here in Europe. Although it had an older look, and probably a much less powerful motor. @mitchwagner

@MitchWagner I love the classic slotted wheels! Please tell me the paint was metalflake?

@Pilchuck I didn’t know that. When I was a kid in the ‘70s, we boys thought the Capri was one of the coolest (European) cars made. That, and the Volkswagen Scirrocco. But American cars was of course much cooler. I remember especially liking the car that Cannon had. Edit: Apparently a Lincoln Mk IV.

@MitchWagner Did you tap the bumper to see if it was authentic?

@Pilchuck @Odd @MitchWagner Here's a photo of my Mercury Capri from (I think) 1984. flic.kr/p/2EkNh

@odd Ford Pinto.

@cliffordbeshers The car doesn’t have a lighter. It is the lighter.

@hjalm I didn’t look closely.

@jack Nice!

@jack Nice ride! Too bad you crashed it. Hope you didn’t get hurt much!

@MitchWagner 😃👍 @pilchuck told me.

@Pilchuck Yeah, the '70s version was definitely cooler.
