    Beautiful car, Kyle. They truly don't build them like this anymore, full sized, quiet comfort, smooth
    V/8 power, simple, easily understood controls, and an ample sized trunk. You're not going to find that in today's SUV, CUV, EVO car world!

    First off I totally agree with Kyle about leaving you to make your own opinion about a vehicle, the point is tour / review not condem / sentence the vehicle. Now, this car is in beautiful condition. What a great find. My Brother in Law has a `93 that came from a 87 years young Lady that got a new Malibu. Her son bought her a car that was smaller because he felt the size of the Caprice was too large for safe driving of his aging Mom.

Everything works and the engine was throughly checked and AOK’d. Now guess what: 264,000 miles and runs like new. These were indeed some of Detroit’s best.
