Vehicle Description
You know that oft-repeated backstory about the lightly driven car
that's been owned by the senior citizen without much inclination to
get behind the wheel and drive it? In reality, it's almost never an
accurate characterization, but in the case of this 1990 Chevrolet
Caprice Brougham LS it really is true. This well-proportioned
cruiser has served just one family during its lifetime and has
logged an unusually low number of miles, so it not only offers
plenty of room for your passengers to travel in comfort, but it's
also well positioned for plenty more smooth driving in the
future.
There's little doubt that this Chevy has spent the vast majority of
its time safely sheltered in a garage. Its gray exterior shows
little effect from the passing years - the paint still presents as
impressively, with a nice shine and a surprisingly smooth texture
and its vinyl top looks much as it did when the car was new. Even
at close range, its exterior alignment will stand up to scrutiny -
the gaps surrounding its quartet of doors, as well as its hood and
deck lid, are tight and consistent. Being so lightly driven, it's
had little occasion to have been run into any immovable objects, so
its bumpers are table level and still sport fresh rubber trim.
Drivers of a certain age rarely get a hankering to modify a
well-equipped but no-nonsense ride like this, so it remains in
entirely stock configuration. As a '90, it also represents the
model as it sported its unabashedly squared off shape for the last
time - some big changes would prove to be right around the
corner.
Climb inside, and likely the first thing you'll notice is just how
much room is at your disposal. There's quite a bit of real estate
separating the two rows of split bench seating and all that room
combines with still-plush padding to make for seriously comfortable
cruising. Next, as you look around the interior you're sure to
notice just how fresh its components are - having had occasion to
put just a touch over 30,000 miles on the odometer after nearly 20
years of service has definitely paid some dividends here, There are
no obvious stains or signs of pronounced wear anywhere. Coming
along when it did, this Caprice was outfitted to please an American
car buying public showing an ever increasing expectation of comfort
and convenience in their cars, so it features cruise control, power
windows and door locks, power seats, and air conditioning that's
capable of cooling the cabin in very short order. The factory issue
AM/FM/Cassette is still working just fine, as is every power option
this Chevy left the factory with.
The engine compartment has received some focused attention to look
as clean as it does. There's no grime buildup anywhere under the
hood and the original fuel injected 5.0 liter V8 still takes center
stage. Another beneficiary of the car's unusually light usage, the
engine is just now entering its prime and propels this cruiser
forward with enthusiasm, pairing with a 4-speed automatic
transmission that shifts flawlessly and offers an overdrive gear to
bring revs way down at highway speeds. Its unaltered, relatively
high stance makes for outstanding ride quality, while the featured
power steering makes it easy to navigate. Power brakes at all four
corners, with discs up front, bring this sedan's set of 15" stock
wire wheels to prompt, fade resistant stops. Below, the
undercarriage looks great - it's unlikely that this Caprice has
ever been navigated into hostile territory.
With plenty of room for whomever you want to bring along, and both
an interior and exterior that's been well sheltered from the forces
of time, this 1990 Chevrolet Caprice Brougham LS represents a rare
opportunity. Call today!
