Lateef ◊ 2022-08-18 23:09	You can tell it's a Capri because of the additional chrome trim along the roofline (Cosmopolitan trim only runs along the top of the windshield and the doors). See the brochure for comparison.
Commander 57 ◊ 2022-08-19 16:37	Thanks. I looked at the brochure earlier, but that little detail had escaped me.

Commander 57 ◊ 2022-08-22 15:14	Yes, I noticed that as well. The car does appear to be slightly modified.
