1966 Chevrolet Caprice

1966 Chevrolet Caprice â?" 396 Turbo-Jet Big Block with Factory Console, Gauges, and Tach Why This Car Is Special The 1966 Chevrolet Caprice occupies a specific and often overlooked place in GM history. It was only in its second year of production in 1966, having debuted mid-year in 1965 as a trim option on the Impala before being elevated to its own series for the 1966 model year. Chevrolet positioned the Caprice above the Impala as a near-luxury full-size car, giving buyers woodgrain interior trim, a distinctive roofline with a formal C-pillar, and an upgraded interior package that set it apart from the rest of the Bel Air/Impala lineup. What makes this particular 1966 Chevrolet Caprice stand out is the combination of factory-installed performance and luxury options that rarely came together on a single build.
