1980 Chevy Caprice & Impala Dealer Training - GM122A

"For Chevrolet Training Personnel Only" - This film was intended to highlight the new features and improvements of the '80 Impala & Caprice to assist dealer personnel in making the sale.
You'll find the "Consumer Presentations for these models in the 1980 Chevy Playlist.

Are we allowed to watch this? It starts with a notice saying - For Chevrolet Sales Persons Only 😉 On a serious note, I was really surprised to see as far back as 1980 they were recommending 35 PSI for the tires.

The Caprice and Caprice Classic became an icon of American culture during the 1980s. I think GM should bring that beautiful box back.

[@ricky-sanchez]

Wave bye bye to all that cool stuff. Gm is worldwide now. Expect alot of imitation smrt cars and prius like vehicles. Corvette is still around, for 80k....

[@landyachtfan79]

GM, as a whole, NAILED it with these cars!!!!!! The brochures for the '77 Caprice/Impala & Delta 88, in particular, stated "We made it right for the times without making it wrong for the people", & "The family car that didn't forget the family", respectively. Both were bang-on!!!!!

[@kirk1015]

4:46 “ten pounds light than last years spare” Grunts pulling out lighter spare tire. 😂😂

[@alanstrong55]

I found the '74 Caprice to be one of the finest model years.

[@milfordcivic6755]

I learned to drive on my dads 84 Landau Coupe

[@DavidAragon13]

I once had an 86 Caprice Classic that just looked like that Impala with a replacement L69 305 V8. That was a FUN car.

[@kingnillvwell381]

I’ll take 1979 over 1980 , whatever the size or color.

[@CHIPNDEATH]

wow,, can't believe my 1980 caprice coupe was a luxury car.. Now is A Mad Max junker,,,

[@TexasMan77]

We had a new 81 Impala, and new 84 and 85 caprices. They were mostly good.

[@Jac2Mac]

Notice that the front seatbelts and automatic transmission in this 1980 Caprice is different that the one in the Caprices that were available for that year.

[@robertmayesiii8356]

Weird how guy put hand put in seat like come ride with me look..

[@kingnillvwell381]

it was poor & rich mans cars , relabel and cheap.

[@ThatGuy-wz3or]

I remember sleeping on the rear deck of this car on long family road trips and peeling our thighs off the hot vinyl seats when we wore shorts.

[@elgeneralxx]

You really smell bad

[@justinwhite9689]

Good cars but....boring as hell.

Were was GM mark of excellence!!!

[@Haithamz]

Thank you for the upload

[@robertmayesiii8356]

You can also burn out the tires good.

[@alanstrong55]

Must have been a comfortable ride.

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

The Iranian Revolution in Spring 1979 caused gasoline prices to soar for a second time in the 1970s. Add high inflation and high interest rates...and the big American cars were no longer the most popular vehicles. Baby boomers who were now buying new cars around 1980 weren't interested in full-size cars...but smaller mid-size cars were more popular than ever. Starting in 1980, new full-size cars were aimed at older couples and were no longer popular with younger families. The 1980 Chevrolet may have gotten a new look...but sales slid compared to the 1979 model year.

[@mattt198654321]

Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite American cars of all time, but I still have to laugh when he points out all the 'aerodynamic' features while the car is literally composed of a series of perfect squares and rectangles....LOL

[@Jeff-bd5yo]

lmao always cracks me up too

[@sweetdaddy77]

Same here. Any GM B-body from this era and Ford's Panther platform, Town Car, Grand Marquis, Crown Vics, all solid soldiers. I'd love to have any of them.

[@cub1009]

Aerodynamic lol. It's a box, a big square box. Yet these cars are great. They are well built, and are still around 40+ years later.

[@briank.8925]

I noticed he doesn't fully close those doors when sitting inside. Must've been too loud.

[@midnightfarmer382]

I’m sure the “cash for clunkers” program sucked up a ton on these old classics

[@andregonsalvez9244]

Yeah thanks to that clown obama !

[@ricky-sanchez]

nah it was the rust belt. It's always the rust belt. Cash for clunkers was for mid to late 90s cars.

[@andregonsalvez9244]

Cool ! I am hoping GM brings these two models back into production in the near future. I hope full-sized RWD/AWD sedans and wagons make a comeback even as a hybrid version .

Get into one of those 80s gm cars and see how they used to be the best of the best.
