By 1970-71, all the domestic automakers offered some version of a sub-compact car. Ford had the Pinto, Chevy had the Vega, and AMC lopped off part of the Hornet to come up with the Gremlin. Mercury went a different route, importing the German-built Ford Capri (hence the term “captive”) and rebadging it as their own.
