1981 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Station Wagon review from North America
"It is the pinnacle of a road trip comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have never had any mechanical problems with my car at all I have how ever had a rocker panel piece come loose my rear dome light doesn't work and my dashbord cracked other than that she is cherry.
General comments?
Since it is diesel it isn't snappy, but it will set you in your seet. it drives very smooth and rides like a caddy and for some reason it will handle fairly considering the size you can still bob and weave in the traffic with the best of them. plus I get about 30 mpg so there are no complaints here.
