1980 Mercury Capri RS
Most people have a love affair with their first car, and I am no exception. Looking through the classified ads day after day, waiting for the day I was able to take my drivers test, which I did pass the first time! After looking at MGB’s, Fiat X19′s, and Triumph TR6′s all cars which would have been cool to drive, but a nightmare mechanically, and no fun in the Ohio winters. I found a 1980 Mercury Capri RS in The News Herald, one test drive and everything came together. So coming across this TV ad for my first car, was a good find, and gets a “Cool Stuff” stamp. Keep in mind this car was five years old when I bought it and I certainly couldn’t have pulled off the leisure suit as well. My car was black with neon green accents and badges, pictured below.
