The 77-90 Box Chevy Caprice/Impala was one of GM’s best cars. I had many of them, I currently own a 1978 Chevy Caprice 2Door Coupe with only 27k original miles.
I’ve always wanted these years since a kid 77/79 I’m now 26 and i currently own a 4 door 78 that’s sky blue with a White vinyl top, Everything is original except Interior. It currently has 60k miles , I plan to pass the car down to my Son when that time does come 👏🏽
Have a 1990 Caprice LS Brougham last of these - real pleasure to drive & look at. Chrome, pillowed seats, V8 Fuel-Injected engine -- all power. Shame Chevy slowly doing away with their cars.
I used to and still see these cars every once in a while love those Caprice Classic/Impala they were like luxury cars with comfortable seats and smooth rides.
There are still a handful of these fine cars in everyday use in Saudi Arabia, testament to their enduring strength. At the turn of the century there will still thousands of them in use.
I had a 4-door Caprice Classic in Light Metallic Blue. What a beautiful, comfortable, great riding car. Best car I ever had. I wish I had kept it instead of getting the Station Wagon version for my dogs.
When I was a junior in highschool my folks bought a 77 Caprice Classic $8,348.00 was the price on the sticker. Had all the bells and whistles. Was the queen of the road back then. It's sitting in my garage right now. Think I'll grab a 8 track and go for a ride.
That generation of Impalas were the best cars, best Police cars, best taxis. A well made, low maintenance cost Work Horse. And then GM forgot how to make cars
17:15..........Old Chevy wagons like these 1980 models will forever hold a very special place in my heart..............AND my ears!!!!! When I was little, I would ride to & from the E.Ethel Little School in North Reading, MA in 1977-82 Impala wagons exactly like this one........AND beg my drivers to fasten the seat belts before they started the engines so I would not have to hear that God-awful GM buzzer.
My grandma's best friend had one of these. The upholstery was this deep emerald green tufted velour that you could just sink into and fall asleep. I would ask to go for a ride whenever I was visiting Gram's.
I was going to trade school LA Trade Tech and drove a cab at night in LA this was my cab, I loved it. I bought a new EL Camino Conquista in 1982. I am 70 years old drive a new BMW X5 and I would trade it for a new Caprice or EL Camino right now 2025.
Grew up with one of these ❤️. It's funny to hear him boast about the aerodynamics though because they're so boxy! It's also funny how the guy is probably in his 30s but looks much older.
I enjoyed watching this program, some beautiful classic cars, I wish they were being made today on the production line. the cars today are just to small and the front seats are almost always uncomfortable. the steering wheels being very small is causing me to have shoulder pain and abscuers some of the speed dial.....!!!!
I used to have a 1980's Chevy caprice and that car drove fine like a beauty until the transmission went out of my car and the of my car was black two door sadan!
When these were new the styling was crisp and classy…but of all things to mention they spelled out how they put in color keyed decal stickers in the exterior door handles. They looked cheap and as the car aged they got worse.
My mom went to a GM dealer on december 79 and they were already selling the 80 Impala, but it remained a couple of 79 with the L6 250. Everyone from the dealer told her she better buy the one with the L6. At the beginning she taught it was a strategy to sell the whole previos year lot, but after a while she realized it was because the 79 had a better performance. She had that Impala for 20 years.
as a historically ford guy.id have to honestly say these were the best designs GM ever made.they really did their homeworks on developing this chassis.fantastic cars for the working man class.
My Grandma had a 1986 or 1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic it wasn't a good car like it was supposed to be for my grandma. She told me the car had a transmission that was bad and it would surge when she would drive it on the road. Caprice was supposed to be top of line but it wasn't expecially the one my grandma had.
