Gorgeous Wagon!! Best Body Style Ever!!! These cars floated down the highway and were super quiet

[@spacetrucker2952]

I have an 89 caprice sedan, these are the best cars. I wish they still built cars like this.

[@mattbartolovich8228]

Amen to that

[@aaronlowinger4465]

Do you still have it ?

[@klwthe3rd]

I freakin love these full size station wagons especially the GM models. The very last year before they redesigned them to the more rounded body style. The wood grain model were my favorite compared to the non wood grain. These wagons have so much class even today. This particular model was heavily loaded out since it had option package #3. Great car Anthony. You are a true GM collector.

[@specialtymotorcars]

It amazes me how much attention these cars get. Thumbs up all the time down the highway!

Nice! Looks great. Glad to see a few of these old wagons so well maintained and preserved and finally worth some decent money. They used to be a common sight on the roads in the 1980s and even well into the 1990s. Now you rarely ever see one. I love station wagons. The cars of my childhood.

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

Cars back then had to either come with airbags or had come with those stupid automatic front seatbelts via gov mandate. Gm found a loophole around the gov mandate by putting the front seatbelts on the door. The theory was that if the seatbelt could remain buckled while at the same time allowing the driver and passenger to get in and out of the car without having to unbuckle the belts, then it was just as good as the automatic seatbelts were.

[@clebersaesll5696]

Beautiful car ❤

[@Sparky-ww5re]

You don't see too many of them anymore. I remember in middle school, at the apartment complex we live in at the time, our neighbor had one just like that, though I don't remember if it was the Caprice or the oldsmobile or the year, but am guessing maybe late 1980s?? being that was about 20 yrs ago, but my fondest memories were watching mom struggle to see backing out of the parking lot when parked next to it, because that station wagon was enormously large, compared to her 1992 mercury sable sedan. 😁 Anyway nice find.

🤩😍🤩 wow very beautiful

[@dhdhddhfh6798]

Good car

[@Sparky-ww5re]

For anyone wondering why the seat belts are mounted on the doors in the front seating position, this was actually a Federal requirement. You see, beginning in 1990 all passenger cars for sale in the U.S. must be equipped with a passive restraint system, this criteria could be satisfied by either airbags OR automatic seat belts. In the GM models typically from about 1988 to 1993 that were not equipped with airbags, the seat belt buckles were supposed to be used only as an emergency release, and you'd open the door, slide under the belts and upon closing the door you were buckled, of course 99.9 percent of drivers and passengers treated them as manual belts. Beginning in 1995 passenger cars must have at least a drivers side airbag, and these door mounted belts (and the motorized shoulder belts common on Ford and many Japanese models particularly Toyota) were a thing of the past. In 1997 passengers cars (1998 for trucks) dual front airbags were required.

Great car though i wanna ask does the 74 imp flat front seat ( 2 in one seat ) has a power moves ?

[@specialtymotorcars]

You lost me there? Front seats are both power.

[@drippinglass]

Kool! I wonder why it has an Olds 307, and not a Chevy 305...

[@AlexanderCrump]

GM was consolidating engine production in the late '80s. At this point, sales of the B-body wagons was waning. I think the Chevy 305 was being allotted to other models like the Camaro, and it was easiest/cheapest to put the same engine in all three wagons (Chevy, Olds, and Buick). The Caprice sedan got the fuel-injected 305.

[@Phonejag1]

If you knew about cars, you would know these are not “hubcaps” (which you called them twice), but “wheel covers”. These happen to be the optional wire wheel covers. “The wood is in nice shape, not faded, no rust underneath any of the wood.” These are woodgrain decals

[@specialtymotorcars]

I like my wire wheel hubcaps, and wood trim.

[@bobbydavenport6513]

O I'm in love with car

[@LlyleHunter]

I’ll bet that she wasn’t a grandma yet when she was driving this car.

[@specialtymotorcars]

Probably not, but it was gently used!

[@frankdenardo8684]

I noticed that the battery is on the left side. most of them were on the right side.

[@specialtymotorcars]

I think that had to do with what engine the cars came with. My Cadillac Broughams with the 307 are on the left, while the 305 and 350's were on the right.

[@LakeNipissing]

Exactly! Another hint, the Olds engines have an oil fill neck at the very top front of the engine, while the Chevrolet engines are on the valve cover, passenger side, I believe. The air conditioning compressor and the alternator are also on opposite sides on Chev. vs. Olds V8s.

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

The almost $20,000 price tag in 1990 is about $42,000 in 2022 money. Sounds like a lot, but compared to today's family hauler SUVs, Crossovers and minivans, that's actually quite reasonable, though lacking the safety, performance and reliability improvements since then.

[@Jac2Mac]

Will a chime from a 1985-91 Mercury Grand Marquis fit in place of the regular chime in this Caprice wagon?

[@specialtymotorcars]

Oooo I wouldn’t have the slightest clue.

[@AlexanderCrump]

Not sure. The buzzers and chimes were interchangeable across the GM line (they plugged into the fuse block on the firewall). The Ford electronic chimes sounded little different so they were probably sourced from a different manufacturer and might have had a different connector than the those used by GM. I would not be surprised if they were interchangeable, though, same as the thermal signal flashers across all GMs, Ford, and Mopars.

Strange I had one of these and from what I remember I thought all of the BOP cars had the 307 in them one only the Chevrolet had, like mine did, Chevrolet engines. Mine was a 305 with a Quadrajet like the 70s cars did but it had a TPS sensor in it and I had the first year with the 4speed auto… that was that cars only weakness but a huge one.

[@AlexanderCrump]

I believe it was around '86 or so that they put the Olds 307 in all three wagons (Chevy, Olds and Buick). Prior to that, the Chevy and Pontiacs got the Chevy engines.

[@MrDan11422]

Love it Ive owned 2 of them the problem with these cars is the later GM Chevy and Pontiac Versions came with the OLDS 307 V8 in it. It was a dog! no power. The 77 -79 is the wagon you want. It comes with a 350 V8 4 Barrel. They were known for a Beautiful Floaty ride

[@LakeNipissing]

I've got a 1989 Caprice Estate in the rare (1 of 47) dark maple metallic / woodgrain. It came with the anemic Olds 307. This was removed and replaced with an Olds 403, which is a direct fit, with all accessories and wiring harnesses being in the same location. To wake up the Olds 403, heads from a 1969 Olds 350 were installed, which raised the compression ratio to about 10:1, and the complete Olds 403 build is making about 380 HP. The Caprice Estate has factory posi with 3.08 rear and can burn both tires for a block with the 403. The 307 couldn't even chirp the tires!

[@davidgarris2513]

Yeah, we had a Buick Electra Estate Wagon with that piece of shit Oldsmobile motor. It literally limped to Blackwell Chevrolet in Jackson Mississippi , and we traded it in for a brand new 1992 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon which was light years ahead of the Buick. That 307 was a motor that no matter how well you took care of it, it just wouldn't make it past about 150k. EVERYTHING else on the car worked great. But that motor just wouldn't make it any farther. We literally limped that car the 18 miles to the dealership at less than 35mph. One of the mechanics bought it and replaced that motor.

[@AlexanderCrump]

@@LakeNipissing Too bad there aren't that many 403s around. It was a great engine and a perfect retrofit for the 307.
