'80-'85 Chevy Caprice, For Sale #3
Thanks to the '79 oil shortage and the resulting doubling of gas prices, sales of full-size cars had fallen off a cliff by the time these cars, a major facelift of the '77-'79 full-size Chevys, debuted for the 1980 model year.
Chevy was concentrating on their smaller cars (the downsized Malibu and Monte Carlo, Citation, Cavalier, Celebrity and Camaro), so the Caprice and Impala saw almost no changes for six years.
The '86's (the box Impala's last year was '85) saw rounded front and rear corners on the same body, and except for the addition of flush headlamps, stayed this way through '90. The next year would see the introduction of the "pregnant whale" Caprice, which spawned the '94-'96 Impala SS
