Millennials will never know what it was like to have automotive brands like Mercury and Oldsmobile in full swing. And it’s even harder to believe Mercury sold its version of the Mustang at one point in time. The Capri 5.0 utilized the same V8 engine as the Mustang 5.0, and most of the car was the same (via Hemmings).

The major difference with the Capri 5.0 was the bubble back design, which was different than the Mustang. The Fox body platform was revered for its reliability and performance and the Capri was a special ride. Most millennials have never seen a Capri in person, as the car didn’t sell well and thus is rare.
