  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of a beautiful American classic, a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Brougham, 305 ci 5.0 V8. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    Beautiful car, Kyle. They truly don't build them like this anymore, full sized, quiet comfort, smooth
    V/8 power, simple, easily understood controls, and an ample sized trunk. You're not going to find that in today's SUV, CUV, EVO car world!
