This car is obviously a survivor from another era, and there's something to be said for that.
Driving around in a Caprice Classic Wagon calls to mind the image of a homecoming bonfire, the pungent aroma of autumnal leaf-burning and a flock of teenagers crammed into the family wagon en route to a Friday night football game.
A simpler, more innocent America. A time when cars with lots of power and room were the standard, rather than the exception.
Of course, it helps if you're old enough to remember such a time. That's one of the reasons the market for these big General Motors wagons - the Caprice has a cousin at Buick, the Roadmaster Estate Wag-on - is composed primarily of older buyers. No, it's not leading edge, but contemporary technology helps keep this vehicle current.
