In 1966, Chevrolet decided to give its premium full-sized lineup a new nameplate: Caprice. This year, the Caprice strutted into showrooms with a 2-door coupe, a 4-door hardtop, and a 4-door station wagon—talk about having options! Under the hood, the entry-level engine was a 283 small block V8, while the ultimate power choice was a 427 cu in beast, roaring with 425 hp. Whether you prefer an automatic or fancy a three or four-speed standard, the Caprice had you covered—just hold onto your hat!
