Commander 57 ◊ 2010-10-27 17:06	That photo rules out '78. Thanks.
rjluna2 ◊ 2010-10-27 19:28	Looks like 1979 due to double headlights bezel and different front sidemarker.
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-10-27 20:54	I guess the image resolution is just not good enough to see the bars across the parking lamp lens.

This is what I meant about the parking lamp lenses and the bars over them present on the '79 models: 1979 Caprice brochure photo: Link to "www.oldcarbrochures.com" For comparison, 1978 Caprice brochure photo: http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/7236/24494305.jpg Also, nice photo of a '77 Caprice Estate wagon: Link to "www.oldcarbrochures.com" -- Last edit: 2010-10-27 21:57:59
