My sister had one of those. It was burgundy over cream and had a five speed.

I nearly posted a two tone Capri yesterday, but you did it for me. Here's a two tone Granada as well. And a 70's version BTW they either came with Pinto 4 cyl or Essex/Cologne V6's, never a V8, it's either a fake badge or a swap

My favorite Capri's were the late Brooklands 280's

Something must be wrong with me; I like everything in this thread except for the sammy with the pink stripe and the fiero with the sreaming chicken on the hood.

That's a winged horse, not a screaming chicken.

Is 1979 close enough?

And another two tone Cougar from 1981.

I can't recommend blue and orange outside of Gulf livery...

Why can't we have two tone cars anymore? I saw a new Rolls in creama nd silver and and it really looked different, then I realized that I couldn't remember the last two tone car I saw. This is still America damn it, there was once a time when even the cheapest of cars could be had in two, and sometimes even three colors.

Damn, I wanted one just like that in the worst way, back in about 1989.

My friend in the Navy in the late 80's had this exact color. With some Japanese lettering along the bottom from the factory, manual trans. Much fun and he today says he wishes he still had it.
