WHAT IS IT?
GM might have epically botched the mid-sized front-wheel-drive X-cars, but at around the same time, they nailed their first effort at downsizing the full-sized Caprice. Perhaps the best-looking American sedan of the Malaise Era, the Caprice, with its low beltline and tall, handsome greenhouse was surprisingly unadorned for a big American sedan. Buyers who specified F40 or F41 suspensions even got cars that handled acceptably.
WHY THIS ONE HAS BEST ONE ON THE PLANET CHOPS
This car positively screams long-term elderly owner. The cushy, tufted bordello red crushed velour interior looks like it’s never been sat in and the spare has never been out of the car. The stereo and gauges scream 1980s with the former looking like a contemporary Marantz component stereo. We could quibble with the minor corrosion on the radiator support and the hood springs, but we’ll leave this one up to the judges. This 18,000-mile big Chevy has to be one of the best survivors left.
