I don't think this is a Caprice, nor a Chevrolet at all. The grill and amber turn signals amd lack of chrome makes me think this is a Pontiac Catalina.. :think:

You might be right, the headlamp/side indicator design is more like a Pontiac. Although the closest I could find is this '86(?) Bonneville, but this has the side trim between the bumpers and the wheel arch:

I've just put my best guess with the Caprice... these '80 US sedans looked very similar.

It could be, just Google didn't give me much results for '80s Catalina, so I've thought that name was discontinued by then.
But it looks like the one on the picture, except the bumper sidelines are not in line with the indicators, so either the fender, or the bumper is from a different model year on the white car.

Based on headlights, grille, and bumper, could be:
1980-1981 Bonneville
1980-1981 Catalina

Lack of rocker trim favors Catalina. Looks more like the 1981 grille, but I'm not positive.
