I did a body-off restoration of my Dad’s 1981 Caprice coupe. While I was working on it, everyone thought I was weird, but, I still have the car to this day, and now everyone loves it, and everyone understands why I put the time and money into refurbishing the car!!
Beautiful Chevy Caprice. I agree with everything the guy in the video is talking about! I actually remember when these 1990 Caprice cars were brand new and they were and still are better looking than any new junky bubble cars of today.
Agreed! There were quite a few more years left in the square body style! 77-90 Caprice is still the best-looking car. Still have my 1981 2-door Caprice, and I have no plans of letting it go anytime soon!!
+Brian E Presley I really want one. My grandpa bought one new but I am not sure what year. It had to be between 1977-1979. He didn't drive the car long and my mom never kept it. If she had we probably would have had the car forever. This was my favorite generation of caprice as well. In 1991 the caprice never looked like a classic again.
+Remembering 1992 I wish I can afford it, but I am a college student with no money at the moment studying to be an automotive mechanic. Maybe after I graduate I'll buy one. If I had my grandpa's car identification number I can try finding it.
+Remembering 1992 oh I know how you feel. Where I live everyone does that to older cars. Kids don't keep their parents cars anymore because they don't appreciate the nice car it was. So they sell it on Craigslist and someone who lives in the ghetto looking for a classic car buys it and makes a dub project out of it. But I feel the same as you do. A car should be kept original like the day it was born. My dad still has his 1989 Buick Regal which his dad bought back in the day. It only has 52,000 original miles. And that's the car I am keeping forever. It wasn't garage kept so I will restore it. But If I buy a caprice it's gonna be always maintained and in great condition just like the regal I have.
haha, wow, that first minute is really something else. It's so corny, and at the same time it's squarely aimed at old people. How many car ads are aimed at old people now? That wagon's cargo area is INCREDIBLE! I don't think even the largest SUV's have that much cargo room these days. Wagons were so much better than SUV's.
and this is proof that cars have all gone to hell in a handbasket and, have become small and are made of almost all plastic and, when they say they're quality they're usually shit and most the time these days when you buy a car it doesn't last you a week and it's already having problems. They don't make them like they use to
My grandpa was a caprice hound. He'd see one in a field, remember where it was, go out later and offer the dude cash for it and take it home l. I remember we rolled up $500 in quarters and bought this nasty mint green diesel caprice from some dude. My gramps was a hustler.
Sounds like a former military man who wants to take his boat out on the lake and fish and wouldn't be caught dead with a smart phone I guess since he didn't want to spend an arm and a leg buying a cadillac brougham was out of the question
Nice cars but they turned off a lot of clients with things like soft camshafts that failed quickly and the junk 200 auto transmissions that were very failure prone.
I saw one yesterday its been years since I saw one . a black guy in his mid 30s was behind the wheel. he had 26inch rims on hit I ask because the car was so beautiful he to me he had 80k invested in it had a lsx swap man that caprice was so nice lowered in the back I know people hate the big rims but this one was complete redone I mean the whole body was taking apart
Boy those cars were cruisers they literally ran and ran and ran. Pop on 20 inch gold daytons. Get you a nice set of 15 with a nice amp for the trunk and just cruise up and down the highways beating the block down.
Equipped with a strong 5.0 V8 and pavement pounding 160hp. O to 60 measured in minutes and 1/4 mile needed to make at least one r/r break.....okay they were nice cars but were real slow!
+DYNO DON The wagon was slow but the sedan was a decent performer for it's time. Wagon 0-60 was 13-14 seconds sedan was 9-10. Believe it or not the sedan had 30 more hp than the wagon and used EFI while the wagon still used a carburetor.
What a stupid commercial. How can you play a song like that and take it seriously. Any potential young buyers went out the window with that ad lol. Probably not many bought any anyway. But i always like the box caprice. Especially the 87 and up
One of the greatest cars ever manufactured by GM. ❤
Got myself a 1983 Caprice classic a year ago. Love it to the core and never letting it go

Me and my dad absolutely LOVE these cars. They are gorgeous.
They made the best police cars too. If they would have kept this design I think it would of been more popular than the crown vics.
My father in law had a 90 Caprice classic landau, gray all around. Had the F41 suspension plus GR70-15 whitewalls. Very nice car, rivaled Cadillac
Simply, the golden era of Chevy

Oh yeah!
Junky bubble cars I like how you describe it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I finally got an 85 caprice
God I miss the 90s
man I swear things back then we're way more simple and not so complex than nowadays
they killed the brand with the 91 style should have kept this look for a few more years
hialeahe yeah those are freakin ugly
Agreed! There were quite a few more years left in the square body style! 77-90 Caprice is still the best-looking car. Still have my 1981 2-door Caprice, and I have no plans of letting it go anytime soon!!
I loved these cars until 1991 when they redesigned it and made it look weird looking. The older full size caprices were the best.
Amen to that. Nothing but jelly beans on wheels since around 1991 or 92. Cars seem to be getting uglier and uglier with each passing year.

Even when I was young, I loved this series. I sort of resent them marketing it with two guys who sound like the hecklers from "The Muppet Show".
Best car ever.
I drove an 80's caprice for years and now drive 90's saturns and its amazing how plastic has replaced all the metal and chrome on cars.
Weird that they were able to use the 1977 styling as a selling point against the Premier.
this and the 91-94 caprice were great cars
I love the car and the area where he is driving it ,Its absolutly beautiful.

These look nice in silver, no vinyl roof & flat chrome caps.
Woodgrain interior trim that is actually a sticker. God bless 1980's American cars.
+palebeachbum your right, it was a piece of junk in comparison to European cars.....that cost at least three times what the caprice did.
real metal
One the best north american automobile ever made , comfortable and power engine.

shut the fuck up with your whinening....just enjoy the show u stupid fuck.
Type 2 Unset Diabeetus People said the same about these cars back in the day. Cars today are much better.
@@melrose9252 Until they break down on the side of the road because one engine sensor picked up an odd reading.
Best cars ever made by General Motors

The things I like about the 77-90 Chevy Caprice:
1) The wagons had a neat roof rack.
See ya later.
0:12 creepy 90s music, its like rugrarts soundtrack or something lol.
sim61642 sounds like a tight fart
1990. Chevrolet. Caprice. Classic. Commercial
My favorite Chevy! So sexy!
Sounds like a former military man who wants to take his boat out on the lake and fish and wouldn't be caught dead with a smart phone I guess since he didn't want to spend an arm and a leg buying a cadillac brougham was out of the question
Me gusta el carro
What?
Washington DC😊
Of acquired knows it is priceless
the styling on this car looks like its from the 1980s.
it was actually from the 70s! I want to say this cars basic look came out in 1978!
Collin Burris 1977.
Nice cars but they turned off a lot of clients with things like soft camshafts that failed quickly and the junk 200 auto transmissions that were very failure prone.
I'll take the wagon
This says: 'Our car is for olde phartes only!'
These cars don't even exist anymore in 2017. I havn't seen one in years
I saw one yesterday its been years since I saw one . a black guy in his mid 30s was behind the wheel. he had 26inch rims on hit I ask because the car was so beautiful he to me he had 80k invested in it had a lsx swap man that caprice was so nice lowered in the back I know people hate the big rims but this one was complete redone I mean the whole body was taking apart
Ricky I own one
Ricky Talk to Reveen, maybe he can conjure one up for you. :P
Boy those cars were cruisers they literally ran and ran and ran. Pop on 20 inch gold daytons. Get you a nice set of 15 with a nice amp for the trunk and just cruise up and down the highways beating the block down.

2022 They are still on Saudi Roads🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dictators’ favorite car??

This is true, I own a 1989 caprice sedan, and it passes nicely on the interstate. Also it is equipped with TBI fuel injection.
hmmm, bajabusta..... looks stolen?
That background music within the first minute or so is so annoying and distracting!
Sagging headliner.......Standard
😅😅😅😅
What a stupid commercial. How can you play a song like that and take it seriously. Any potential young buyers went out the window with that ad lol. Probably not many bought any anyway. But i always like the box caprice. Especially the 87 and up
ew, it looks gross
