If it wasn't completely official yet, it became so 12/12/2012, when I put the license plates on it:



WELCOME to the family, 1989 Caprice Classic Brougham!

The same day, I put the keys for both of my Caprice Classics on the "'Caprice' w/CC emblem" key rings that a friend sent me.  Now, I just need to give my 1989 Caprice Classic its 1st detail....  As I put on the plates, I was excited but still had a twinge of sadness, which probably will never completely go away.

This 1989 Caprice Classic just sort of fell into my lap.  A friend & I went to look at it, figuring it would be nothing more than an exercise in determining what I would NOT want in an '89 CC.  In fact, it was just the opposite.  Looking it over, it became clear that it was in top mechanical shape with a few cosmetic issues ... & the price was good.  The seller actually lowered it for me b/c he wanted me to have it given my "car history".  Brought it home, with the help of the same friend, 10/26/2012.


1979 Caprice Classic & 1989 Caprice Classic plates; which season do you prefer?



I was able to make a bit more "connection" w/my newest acquisition b/c I found some original documentation in the 1989 Caprice Classic's glove compartment. The ones pictured (not including documentation w/names & addresses) are: "A service signals checklist for the car owner"; "GM Maintenance Schedule for Passenger Cars"; "1989 Warranty & Owners Assistance Information"; 1989 Caprice owners manual; "Used Vehicle Disclosure Label" (from 1993); "Vehicle Invoice" (1993); "Dealer Certification for Emission Control Equipment" (06/09/1989); Pre-Delivery inspection papers (1989); Burtness Chevrolet Inc (WI) "maintenance folio"....



This was taken just after the new wire wheels were installed:

I bought a collection that I love so much.

Welcome to AutoPuzzles.  I believe you're our first member in Angola..
You bought a collection of Caprices or of literature?!

Rather a collection of spam, I think.

Quite so.

The article is formal, it comes to study and how to handle it, which will be very beneficial.
