Notes:

 With a sales record for its first two years in the United States unequalled by any other import, Lincoln-Mercury's sporty Capri enters 1973 with a larger standard engine and interior refinements. All 1973 Lincoln-Mercury cars have a new front bumper system designed to prevent significant damage to safety-related components in 5-mph frontal impact into a flat barrier. The new rear bumper system offers protection in 2.5-mph impacts. Complete sporty instrumentation is standard on the Capri 2600 and now optional on the Capri 2000. Interior changes include a new instrument panel with a lockable glove box and new simulated-walnut decor. Seat trim and the steering wheel also are new, and the ignition switch has been moved to a more convenient location on the steering column. The popular Decor Group option is revised and features a new console, unique seats and an electric rear-window defroster.
