The Chevrolet Caprice represents a significant lineup of American full-size vehicles produced by General Motors. Initially, Caprice started as a trim package for the iconic Impala, but GM executives later decided to develop it into a standalone model that would become the brand’s flagship for many years.
Four generations of the Caprice were manufactured between 1966 and 1996, undergoing numerous updates and redesigns. Chevrolet placed great emphasis on maintaining stylistic continuity and recognizable design features in every new iteration of the Caprice.
There are two main theories regarding the origin of the car’s name:
Four years after the original model’s discontinuation, the Chevrolet Caprice re-emerged in several Middle Eastern markets, though it bore no relation to the original series. These new Caprices were actually licensed copies of the Australian Holden Statesman. From 2011 to 2017, the revived model was used to equip police departments across the United States and was also sold in limited quantities in the North American market.
