Model Chevrolet Caprice
The Chevrolet Caprice started back in mid-1965. It was introduced as a luxury trim package for the Impala four-door hardtop sedan.
This was Chevrolet’s response to the Ford LTD series luxury cars and not wanting to be over sold.
The Caprice came out with a stiffer suspension, higher-grade cloth and vinyl seats plus door trim (it also included thicker, higher-grade carpeting), walnut trim on the dashboard and door panels, pull straps on the doors, extra convenience lights, special full wheel covers and an optional vinyl top.
The Chevrolet Caprice got its name by Bob Lund (Chevrolet's General Sales Manager) after a classy restaurant he frequented in New York City.
Not agreed on, some say the Caprice was named after Caprice Chapman, daughter of auto executive and influential Indy-car official James P. Chapman.
The Caprice was introduced mid 1965 and was very well received during its first year in 1965. For 1966, the Caprice was expanded into a full top-line series.
This included a two-door hardtop, and a station wagon with simulated wood exterior trim - the first Chevy "woody" wagon since 1954.
All of the Chevrolet Caprice got a V8 engine was installed.
