Chevrolet Caprice 1991 Promo

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Although big cars aren't for *everyone,* I've come to believe that big cars like the Chevrolet Caprice was a car for anyone wanting something made in North America, preferably the USA, that's built for Americans, for *American* needs and wants. That's why I miss the big rear-wheel drive Caprice and Caprice Classic. I remember when this style Caprice was introduced. I liked it immediately. It was still old-school in its drivetrain layout, but its styling was up to date. A long overdue styling change. Even 25 yrs later, it still looks attractive, still looks contemporary. 🙂

[@RivieraByBuick]

well.. f-150, Ram, Tahoe - are the same thing, just way more practical.

[@haseebkhan6621]

Classic. American automakers need to go back to creating dependable vehicles like these. Not the trash that we make now like the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Cruze.

My '93 has the "round" back wheel openings (completely changed the whole look of the car). Mine has 343,xxx miles and burns no oil with the original engine which has never been rebuilt. The most extensive repairs have been a new timing chain and new intake manifold gaskets. Amazing car.

[@baselhs]

We had a 1992 Caprice LTZ with the 5.7 liter engine. I learned to drive on that car. We sold it after my dad died. So many memories 💔

[@عبدالرحمنالرشيدي-ح2ض]

Yeah its nostalgic

[@M21L35]

ANY LTZ would be a rare find today!

[@melkerekstromer1398]

The U.S police force had these cars during the 90`s with a powerful 5,7 litre V8 corvette engine (9C1) then they were replaced with the Ford crown victoria 4,6 litre V8 (P71) Many policemen were sad during the exchange,cause the Caprice was one hell of a car.

[@harysuper]

If GM had just "face lifted" the B-Body caprice like ford did to the Crown Vic, It would have competed well with the Crown Vic. I don't know why GM had to stop making such a great car, they are just as contemporary as a late 00's Crown Vic in my opinion.

[@silicon212]

Harry Super GM shot themselves in the foot. I suppose you could say they were way ahead of their time. They canceled the Caprice and other B body cars because they thought the public wanted Tahoes instead - so that's what they did - the converted the Arlington plant where the Caprice was made into a Tahoe/Yukon plant and killed the Caprice. They thought the departments who bought the Caprice would buy Tahoes - that's now happening but only because Ford killed the 'Vic. The 'Vic is a good car too, not bad in the power department if you get one that's 2004 or newer. My '88 9C1 and my '05 P71 are closely matched power wise. I know the 'Tri-9' Caprice would smash either one.

[@harysuper]

silicon212 I totally agree! The Vic is a great car, sorry what I said earlier. The Caprice though is such a great car! I have a Roadmaster Estate, and ironically my family has an 01 and an 02 Tahoe. But had GM continued the B-Body, i bet it would have beat the crownvic in terms of sails. And My folks would still have their Tahoe's because they originally were made in Michigan.

[@silicon212]

Harrison S Yes, the only time Ford was able to outsell the Caprice to LE was when the Caprice was dropped. When available, the Caprice outsold the Vic by good margins. If the Caprice had continued production, that outlook would not have changed.

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

The Caprice was a pile of junk, that's why police forces stopped buying them. My local PD got rid of their Caprices years before they had planned to because it was cheaper to buy Crown Vics than it was to keep repairing the Caprices.

[@jamesfrench7299]

I, like most people, detested those wheel spats at the rear but I now appreciate them! This car brought a lot of modern touches to an old school type of car car. A real pity Chevrolet didn't at least build them into the 2000s.

[@noahh914]

That's what I thought. It's the most modern looking 1970s car... Love those wheel arches

[@milfordcivic6755]

I remember when my father bought his in 1994. It was the LS with the 5.7. We thought it was a huge deal.....the sticker was $24K! He's like, OMG, what did I do! He kept it until he passed away in 2015. It gave him 21 years of good service.

Toarcade I am sorry that your ego is so fragile. But you are still incorrect. Pathos refers to "an emotion of sympathy."

[@andregonsalvez9244]

Great review ! I still preferred the old Box Chevrolets which I grew up with and own today ( 2023 ) . The 1993 Caprice styling was more appealing than the 91/92 Caprice and the performance would dance circles around the Box Chevrolets .

[@LordRalphingtonPukesmythe]

I can honestly say, this is one of the best made, most reliable, and easy to work on cars in the world. The hardest thing to do on it is change the spark plugs...but that's more of an inconvenience than anything. My '91 LTZ will probably outlive me...

[@harysuper]

They are definitely hard to get too. I changed the thermostat and also the distributer cables on my '93 Roadmaster wagon. And changing those took a few hours. The ends of the cables where the plugs go are hard to reach.

[@mybigfatpolishlife]

my cousins still drive my grandmas caprice around. that's saying something

I bought a 96 with the LT1 350. It had every option except leather. I loved it. Smooth ride, great in winter with posi and high ground clearance. The weak link was the interior, cheap looking Tupperware dash and door panels and lots of squeaks and rattles from those cheap bits. But otherwise it was great! Kept it 4 years and its still on the road, my friend bought it and still enjoys it. The only mechanical glitch in 94-96 was that the LT1 liked eating water pumps.

[@CarDuCation]

Our family bought a Classic exactly the same as the blue one featured in this video brand new. I ran it for 265k until we sold it. Let me tell you all the items that had to be replaced: Power brake booster, alternator, battery. A few pairs of brake rotors. End links, shocks. Das it. It was still running but had leaky valve seals (a common issue with high mileage). It had plenty of life - big reason was the engine saw 4000 rpm maybe 12 times in its life :) GM perfected the rear wheel drive family car with this one.

[@eyuzik30]

nice white walls and fender skirts, in 1991! I think it was a better car than the Crown Victoria.

[@davidjaeger6096]

hey harryrez, you're not the only one, I like the 91-92 style better compared to the 93-96 style too, the wheel skirt adds more class to the bubble style I think, I wish they put the skirts on the 77-90 models like they did with the Pontiac Bonnevilles cause I've got a 89 Caprice and I think it would look better with it.

[@zackamanda9799]

Never liked the rear quarter panel covering the rear tire on the 1991 and 1992 models. They changed it in 1993. Always liked the 1995 and 1996 SS model. The small window behind the rear door was restyled in 1995 as well.

I'll never forget when it happened. At the time I was working at a Chevy dealership as a car detailer "I owned a 84 Impala at the time." and I walked in to the owner's office of the dealership and I told him that they were making a big mistake. Yes the re-design wasn't a hit. But, that only means that they could have redesigned it. When the 4 door Tahoe replaced these perhaps it didn't look like a bad bet but, when the great recession hit perhaps it wouldn't have been so bad for GM.

I remember it being referred to as "Shamu", emulating an era-specific film re. a particular whale. Indeed the styling WAS a massive departure from its '77-'90 squared-off design. I still own the '95 I ordered new, now w/an excess of 304K rounds on the clock. It's a COPO 9C1 that no one but myself has driven, though the 9C1 option was law enforcement-only (5.7) until the Impala SS came upon the scene in '94. The motor's never been apart.

this car was mainly designed for the police and government first, that's why the shaped changed so much, primarily for highway speeds. I was flabbergasted when I first saw these cars, and of course, it was a police car. And for those commenters that don't like them and talk about how one probably can't afford something "classier" if they do like the cars, just remember, there are alot of agencies that still have these cars around...I've personally seen them on many occasions recently. So, really, you're also talking bout the government as well...which I'm sure you dont have more money than.
