While borrowing somewhat from the entry-level Capri series, the Premiere was known for its stylish exterior, which included a front windshield that partially wrapped around the sides, recessed headlamps, and a dramatic hood ornament resembling the prow of a ship. On the inside, the optional air conditioning system utilized overhead vents like those found in commercial airplanes. A pair of clear plastic ducts visible through the rear window at each side delivered the cool air to passengers.
