Today’s ad is for the 1979 Caprice Classic models: coupe, sedan & wagon! Which do you want?

“How, one asks, could something so contemporary be so committed to the ageless traditions of comfort, value & beauty. The Caprice is, as it has been for the past 13 years, the uppermost Chevrolet. Standing firmly in a line of impressive automobiles with its heritage of roomy comfort, driving enjoyment & dedication to innovative engineering. Outside, clean uncluttered lines, distinctive style accents & a new, richly-textured grill make their own statement about modern living. About how a full-size family car should look & act, both today & far along down the road. Inside, sit back, relax & listen to the quiet. There’s expensive, plushly decorated, deep upholstered room for 6 people. & there’s an array of thoughtful luxury touches, like door pull straps, carpeted lower door panels, fold-down center armrest, a ‘headlights on’ reminder buzzer, courtesy lights, simulated wood-grain accents, an electric clock & many, many more. Caprice Classic is offered in Sedan, handsome Coupe or Landau Coupe. For those who need the extra spaciousness, 2- & 3-Seat Station Wagons are offered. Ask your Chevrolet dealer for a separate Station Wagon catalog. & for 1979, Caprice offers a new designer series of distinctive Silver Classic Custom 2-tones: Black & Silver, Dark Carmine & Silver, & Dark Blue & Silver, each with complementing body side pin striping.”
