The 77-90 Box Chevy Caprice/Impala was one of GM’s best cars. I had many of them, I currently own a 1978 Chevy Caprice 2Door Coupe with only 27k original miles.

When I was little, I would ride to & from the E.Ethel Little School in North Reading, MA in 1977-82 Impala wagons exactly like this one........AND beg my drivers to fasten the seat belts before they started the engines so I would not have to hear that God-awful GM buzzer.

My Grandma had a 1986 or 1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic it wasn't a good car like it was supposed to be for my grandma. She told me the car had a transmission that was bad and it would surge when she would drive it on the road. Caprice was supposed to be top of line but it wasn't expecially the one my grandma had.

My mom went to a GM dealer on december 79 and they were already selling the 80 Impala, but it remained a couple of 79 with the L6 250. Everyone from the dealer told her she better buy the one with the L6. At the beginning she taught it was a strategy to sell the whole previos year lot, but after a while she realized it was because the 79 had a better performance. She had that Impala for 20 years.
