1965 - The Chevrolet Caprice
history began in 1965 as an equipment option (RPO Z18) for the
Chevrolet Impala, called Caprice Custom Sedan.
It featured an improved suspension, a heavy duty frame, a more
luxurious interior, a special grille and the known Caprice-crest
emblems.
1966 - Chevrolet was overwhelmed by the consumers response to this car,
so the next year (1966) saw the Caprice beeing started as individual
model.
A Station-Wagon, a two door coupé and the four door sedan
(known from ´65) were now available.
It was placed as the Chevrolet top model with many luxury related
additions like cloth seating, deep plushy carpeting and interior wood
applications.
Engines available in ´65 were a 283ci Small Block with 195hp,
the 396ci Big Block called "Turbo-Jet" ) (RPO L35) with 325hp and the
most powerful Chevy Engine of this year, the 427ci Big Block (RPO L72)
with 425hp!
In 1966 more Caprices were sold than Impalas, for the first time.
