  • For the in depth review/tour of this vehicle click this link! • 1990 Chevrolet Caprice...
    In this video I give a short tour and test drive of the 1990 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I show the car idling as well as take it on a thorough test drive through the city and highway on various surfaces. A thorough drive of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

      Now 21 years ago would be some 2003 Civic. From the time of recording (2011), 2003 was only 8 years ago

      Rockwood Joe that’s why I loved my base line 2002 Chevrolet Impala. Gotta love the bench seat and column shift. Some people give them a bad rep but I love them.

      Whenever sitting in another person car your hand goes for the column shifter every time right?

      @TheGooser123 Před 6 lety +5

      Bob Jones lol exactly. I have a 2012 Focus now and I’m used to the floor shifter. But nothing beats a good ol’ bench and column shifter.

    • @MasterJim2020
      @MasterJim2020 Před 4 lety +3

      Sometimes, I wish that my 2016 Ford Escape would have a column shifter. At least it still has the old fashioned hand crank for the e-brakes, instead of 1 of those weird electronic e-brakes. Ford decided to start putting those in the Escape when they came out with the redesigned model of the 3rd Generation, back in 2017.

    I'm from Saudi arabia and I have Caprice 1988 classic. I feel like a king in the road no one is missing around when they see this heavy metal lol. ahhhh the only problem with this car is the gasolin that you need to re-full the tank again and again. but here in my country it's not that big problem. I hope the amrican
    manufacture find a way to rebulidd such car like that. im still inlove with this type cars. WE ARE NOW AT 2016 and this car in so often i see it in the road.

    I really wish we could still have vehicles these days with a squarish, rectilinear design. Even some more recent vehicles like the 2001 last-gen Jeep Cherokee XJ and the current Mercedes G-Class have boxy designs, it would be nice to see it make sort of a comeback.

  • @NESherv
    @NESherv Před 13 lety +15

    I have to compliment you on how much you've kept it stock. Most Caprices from this year nowadays are donked up on 26"s and covered in candy paint and rhinestone subwoofers. Keeping it original really does make it stand out.

    • @czarpeppers6250
      @czarpeppers6250 Před 8 lety +8

      That they certainly don't. When it comes to cars I never buy newer than 1990, they just don't make cars like they use to. That and they just don't feel like they have a soul like these cars do.

    • @oDJOldskull
      @oDJOldskull Před 8 lety +3

      CzarPeppers I get what you mean. By my own will I've decided to purchase a 1989 Mercedes-Benz W201 190E 2.3 liter L4. I just didn't see myself with these newer stuff. Look even at the quality of seats made of leather for example. In the old times you had that plushy-cushy feeling just as you were sitting on a sofa. Nowadays they are so minimalistic and economic that it literally hurts your a$$. I can't find my spot in another car that I own - 2008 Volkswagen Golf V. It wants to be 'sporty' but the engine has only 75HP. It has 5 horrible gears with a long shifter that makes it impossible to call 'sport compact car'. Not to mention that evertyhing inside and outside looks so plastic and cheap for a 25 000 $ car. I regret. There were Buicks, Pontiacs... I don't know why I have chosen that VW crap. Sorry to the community for that mistake.

    • @czarpeppers6250
      @czarpeppers6250 Před 8 lety +4

      Nice choice, those Mercedes are pretty great cars. I use to own a 1980 BMW 528i, and the leather seat were beautiful, with the kind of carpet on the floors you would have in a house. Very comfortable for such a small car with quite a punch. Not a super powerful car at 160hp, but considering their size they certainly aren't slow.
      I've also owned some of those big American cars from the 1980's, nothing they make today comes close to how comfortable those things are. I can be on the highway in one of those things for 12 hours straight and be as comfortable at the end of the journey as I was at the start of it.
      Right now I'm trying to get my hands on a 1988 Chevy Caprice wagon I found on craigslist. Since moving out into the country that's exactly the kind of car I want to be driving. Plus, a great car for a musician who needs to transport lots of equipment around.

  • @PrinceRafa2024
    @PrinceRafa2024 Před 5 měsíci +2

    My first car was a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic with 105k miles on the odometer. The car was 15 years old when I got it and in decent shape despite the headliner sagging. I regret selling it because Chevy doesn’t build them like that anymore. Honestly I would do anything to drive a car like that again.

  • @moviewatcher1024
    @moviewatcher1024 Před 8 lety +2

    Absolutely love this car. White in color with no vinyl top...just about as good as it gets! The only things missing are the 350LT1 engine and the 2 door option. My mom gave me her Chevy Caprice Classic and I put 260K miles on it.

    You are exactly right on this! I think when turning or rounding corners their not the best but they are very smooyh and for a larger car they feel easy to steer. I used to own a 89 caprice classic! I made a vid thats on my channel of it from 3 years ago. I sold it to my neighbor and i drive it every once in a while. I just love those cars but my neighbor has a problem with non of the electricity working now

    When Chevy built great cars! I miss these! My parents had one in the 80s. It was a 1986 Caprice Classic Brougham.

    I've had a few of these.. A 79 classic an 84 impala "same body as a caprice" an 87 caprice and a 1990 Chevrolet Caprice.. That was the last year of the square body type. Then i had a 1992 Chevrolet Caprice... That one had a round body style but the engine was the same most of it's mechanical parts. All were fun ... All have very good air conditioning. Only thing is.. I never had one that the cruise control worked in it lol ... But besides that a great car with many great times and memories behind the wheel of them.

    This reminds me a lot of my dad's 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

    I enjoyed your video we used to have one of these. Also speaking of power it can probably tow a medium size trailer 1500 lbs or so😎😎
