1986 Chevy Caprice Commercial (1985) Luxury Car Drive Today's Chevy, Live Today's Chevy Chevrolet

[@tommytahmoreszadeh1158]

Absolutely LOVE those 80s boxy chevys.

[@Drchainsaw77]

Everybody had forgotten by that point that these "Full-size" cars in '86 were the size of the mid-size cars of 1971-76...

[@michaelhungate7506]

The 71/76 models were the longest widest and heaviest GM ever made. The 77-90 Caprices were 600-800 pounds lighter than the 71-76 models.

[@MintyFreshTurds]

@@michaelhungate7506 He said compared to mid-sized GMs of the 70's.

[@coololds85]

Love these generation caprices better than the 90s.

[@fernandorocha8459]

My generation favorite of Caprice, wagon is my favorite: 85-88

[@Railhog2102]

Same here, They were also popular as Taxis in New York and other cities

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

I like how the then aging Caprice was repositioned as a classic full size luxury car. Back when this downsized version came out in 1977, it was all about "now that's more like it" as a sensible, smaller everyday mainstream sedan for the masses.

[@toyotabrony]

Didn’t this was an elegant style commercial about his Chevy. Nice

[@bfvweltfrieden]

Lol and a couple months later, when 4 of them Turned up in a Row like that, you knew the Feds were up to something.

[@DrFunky4]

🤣🤣🤣

[@xrtc7540]

My second brand new car ever was a very sweet, nicely equipped '81 Caprice. Part of the reason I have such fond memories of it was that I took the advice from a friend of mine who worked for a big Chevy dealer and specified a gas V-8, thereby avoiding the problematic standard V-6 (rough idle and transmission complaints) and the 350 diesel fiasco. I owned it for only a couple of years so maybe that wasn't long enough to have problems with it, but that Caprice is still one of my favorites out of the 40-ish vehicles I've owned so far.

[@Pisti846]

Very nice car. The Caprice Landau coupe with the Biarritz-style moldings, the 88-89 LS Brougham sedan and the 85-86 Pontiac Parisienne version were my favorite body styles.

[@moonbeamskies3346]

So true. So many cars were going to front wheel drive, V6 or 4 cylinder engines, and smaller dimensions in this era. We were being trained to see cars like Taurus and Celebrity as standard.

[@Drchainsaw77]

The Celebrity was, in essence, a trimmed Caprice -- would have been a much better car with a 3.8L and rear-drive. I hate front-drive.

[@melissacarterpresley5786]

You clearly are not familiar with the Caprice or the Celebrity.

[@lamontwilkes2735]

my dream car

[@xLuiKangx007]

Best Car Ever

[@tonilautamaki7275]

It is.

[@MissAmazanda]

My friend has an 88' caprice he was driving the other day and this young girl about 21 said that looks like an old gangster car..I swear kids say the darndest things lol

[@alissonlares2926]

A gangster car? Oh, silly generation... Since my childhood, this car was my dream. Always saw this car in cop movies. Sad for me, it's impossible to have and keep a car like that here in Brazil.

[@TonyT-dz4hl]

It's a dope boy car in Georgia

[@barrybrittain6157]

The 1971 to 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood and Deville look more like gangster cars to me as much as I love them and would love to own one! But to call a Caprice a gangster car😖C'MON NOW! My dad had a 1979 Caprice coupe, those cars bring back some nice memories for me!

[@TeeroyHammermill]

I'd love to have another one of these.

[@caleballen7273]

[@fernandorocha6486]

I love this Chevy Caprice 86, my favorite and dream car. Very pretty and sexy car, Caprice 85, 86, 87 and 88 is my favorites

[@jamesfrench7299]

Nothing beats the styling of the 1980 -85 Impala.

[@paulcheek5711]

yes something does, a 1968 impala...

[@Lianpe98]

This is an 85-86 caprice add

[@markelijio6012]

What a lovely car.

[@DatCommercial]

The ad is from 1985, for the new model. Tried to make the title clearer.

[@FunctionalHacker]

Ok, but cool commercial anyways! Best cars ever!!

[@wjksea]

Now that’s more like it, the new Chevrolet

[@MAGNUM05]

A 1986 Caprice is very easy to notice when you see one.

[@caddyman7725]

I had a retired Police version once. Fun car! In other news.....I now know how to pronounce 'Brougham'! :)

[@Remembering-rq6si]

This was the year (1986) that Chevrolet made the mistake of removing the hood ornament. It was back the following year. An 80s Caprice without a hood ornament is like a woman with no curves. You can drive it, but it's not much fun to look at.

[@عليخماش-و1ل]

♥️😘😢😭

[@DVDfanA]

The last Caprice rolled off the assembly line on December 13, 1996.

[@raymondrose6596]

I almost bought one. Out the door for around $11,000

[@raipein73gilsu]

11,000 wtf i bought my 87 caprice classic brougham last year for 4500 and it didn't have anything wrong with it

[@mamz1404]

الكابرس افضل سياره تم صناعتها

[@FunctionalHacker]

This is 86 model year, not 85 because of the backlights and the hood ornament...

[@GloucesterODaugherty]

A 1988 Chevy Caprice LS Brougham is a Cadillac. Tell me I’m wrong.

[@TomoyukiWatanabe]

hahaha,Nice Car!!! ４:D

[@milfordcivic6755]

The only holdover GM kept from this era, till 96. After that their quality went into the toilet.

[@mohammed_jazea]

You mean GM ended in 1996

[@zrzr4]

Roadmaster lasted till 96 too.

[@chucksudduth6244]

The 70's & 80's Caprice Classics were the best. My mom owned a 1974 and a 1982 Caprice Classics and I owned two 1986 Caprice Classic Broughams. I did not care for the 1990 Caprice's or the Caprice Classics.

[@patcurrie9888]

Those drivers are not leaving enough following distance. Very unprofessional.

[@AlexanderCrump]

Especially since these Caprices did not have anti-lock brakes. That following-too-closely was a popular marketing gimmick in the '80s and '90s. Remember the scene in Twister?

[@unvcht5046]

Why the hell did it have a v8 for lol

[@raipein73gilsu]

Why would it not have a v8?

[@MAGNUM05]

Because these cars were built to have V8's in them.
