Lost 1954 Lincoln Mardi Gras show car Danny Gove set out to assess a muscle car, and ended up coming home with a long-missing, one-of-a kind Lincoln show car from the 1950s. "I was called over to a gentleman's house to do an evaluation of what he thought was a Moulin Rouge 'Cuda, and I went over there to confirm or deny whether it was a Moulin Rouge car — and he had the unfortunate news that it was not — but he said, 'Before you go, I would like to show you one more thing.' He took me to a back barn and there it sat." "It" was a 1954 Lincoln Capri two-door hardtop — more specifically, the 1954 Lincoln Capri Mardi Gras, a special "color and trim" car used to add glamour to Lincoln's stand at the 46th annual Chicago Auto Show, held March 13-21, 1954, at the city's International Amphitheatre.
