The Chevrolet Impala Caprice, produced from 1968 to 1985, was a full-sized, rear-wheel-drive automobile that solidified Chevrolet's position as a leader in the American automotive market. It was a continuation of the successful Impala line, but with a more luxurious and refined approach. The Caprice name, signifying a more upscale trim level, was introduced in 1965 and quickly became a popular choice for families and individuals seeking comfort and style. The 1968-1985 models, with their crisp lines, expansive interiors, and powerful engine options, became iconic symbols of the era.

These Impala Caprice models offered a wide range of engine choices, from the standard small-block V8 to the larger, more powerful big-block V8s. The transmissions were generally automatic, providing smooth acceleration and effortless cruising. In terms of styling, the Caprice featured a distinctive, long hood, a wide grille, and a prominent rear end. Interiors were designed for comfort and spaciousness, offering ample legroom and headroom for all passengers. Available features included air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, and even plush velour upholstery, reflecting the car's aim for a luxurious driving experience. While the Impala Caprice was known for its comfort and practicality, it also possessed a sporty side, particularly with the available high-performance engine options and sporty suspension setups. These cars were popular choices for law enforcement agencies as well, serving as patrol cars and unmarked units thanks to their durability and performance.
