The Capri was introduced in early 1957. This was meant to be a combination of sport and luxury. The Capri would've competed against cars like the Carona Maya, Dortmund Concordia and Dodge Royal.The car featured a Buick V8 engine producing 210 hp, or could be fitted for 1958 with an uprated 250 hp engine. The wagon was sold only in 1957, due to low sales, with the other two models being sold until late 1958.
