Caprice
          Classic Brougham  1987.  
      The Chevrolet Caprice (later called Caprice Classic)
        was a series name of automobile produced by Chevrolet, a division of
        General Motors, in the United States from the 1965 through 1996 model
        years.
        Throughout its life, the Caprice designated the most-expensive (and most
        luxurious) model of the Chevrolet full-size car range, which during its
        lifetime also included the Biscayne, Bel Air and Impala. Its exit without
        replacement would leave the Ford Crown Victoria as the last traditional
        full-size American sedan
        
      The Caprice began life in 1965 as a luxury trim package for the Impala
      four-door hardtop sedan, in response to the successful Ford LTD series.
      This included a stiffer suspension, higher-grade cloth and vinyl seat and
      door trim (as well as 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 a vinyl top. The name for the Chevrolet
      Caprice was coined by Bob Lund (Chevrolet's General Sales Manager) after
      a classy restaurant he frequented in New York City.
      
      The package was very well received, and was expanded in 1966 to include
      a two-door hardtop and a station wagon. A V8 engine was installed in every
      Caprice. While features such as an automatic transmission, power steering,
      white sidewall tires, and vinyl top were extra-cost options, virtually
      every Caprice was sold with them. It is interesting to note, however, that
      a very few Caprices were ordered with the optional 4-speed manual transmission,
      few or no power accessories, and the big-block Mark IV V8. Also, customers
      frequently ordered luxury options such as air conditioning, power windows,
      power seats and stereo radios; several automotive history books noted that
      a fully-optioned Caprice rivaled the appearance, comfort and convenience
      of the Cadillac DeVille (which ironically was based off of the Chevrolet
      Caprice).
