Clean Caprice Classic
« on: June 12, 2010, 03:47:51 PM »
Perhaps you remember my "winter warrior" 1979 Caprice Classic ... and how filthy it was when I bought and subsequently drove it this past winter:

I've wondered how it might look "all shined up", and a few others told me the same thing.  So ... I finally took the time to clean it up a bit!  And, the results:

Not perfect, but not shabby either.  I love shiny chrome...!

Nice work. The "downsized" Caprice was a refreshing change from the bloated previous pseudo-Cadie Chevy
