Early no bears Ford name in USA,but were sold by Mercury Dealers'network(model of Seventies'end,1976 or 1977;not 1978,'cause by then share same coque with the 1979 Ford Mustang)

antp ◊ 2006-12-26 01:31	According to Wikipedia, they are wrongly known as Mercury Capri, the real name was just Capri.

Here, when we speak about a sixties and seventies Opel Kadett or GT, we refer to it as a Buick-Opel. Even if the car didn't get a Buick badge, it was advertized by Buick as Buick's Opel just like other cars were advertized as Buick's GS 455... see: The Lincoln-Mercury dealers didn't associate the german Capri's name with Mercury but when the second generation, Mustang-based Capri was introduced, it was badged as a Mercury. That's why the German model is often called a Mercury.
