    Hi from Sydney, Australia. Sadly these never came to Australia except for a few US Government official cars. By'91 there were no converters prepared to do small quantity conversions from left hand drive to right hand drive. When these 4th series Caprices came out I thought they looked terrific with the skirted rear fenders, I owned a factory right hand drive 1965 Galaxie, those also had skirted rear fenders, then for "66 Ford opened up the wheel arch , same as GM did in the 1994 makeover on the Caprice, so a bit of its class was lost. Until the mid 70's both Ford & GM Aust' would import the parts in kit form to build RHD versions of a select range of US Ford & GM cars I've owned a few over the years and have kept my 2 favorites a 1972 & 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Broughams. I've owned the black '74 model now 42 years , and unlike your Caprice, mine has 710,000 kilometres on it, however it looks like new, looked after carefully in our warm dry climate as I knew I'd never get another, I bought it when I was 26, now I'm 68.

      I believe it was the brake lights not working and honestly if I remember correctly, I think I figured it out to be the brake light switch being corroded inside. I just popped it open and clean that out so I probably did this for nothing but I had people telling me the same thing.

    They didn't cast numbers in the block for their health. 😂 The numbers will tell you everything you need to know. Year and month of manufacture, application (car or pickup) and displacement (engine size). You got it made these days, just Google it. In my day I had to actually crack a book or use a rotary phone and call someone. I'm glad to see some people can still figure s*it out. Good job! 👍
