If that's classified as 'Drop Dead Gorgeous', my '59 is worth millions.   :yes:

Why would anyone destroy such a nice car. :scratchhead:
Also, It's not a 75. 76 was the first year for rectangular headlights. It also has a Bel Air bumper on it.

Believe the VIN says it is a '75.  Could well have changed it over to square headlights too.

I'm no expert here, but are you sure about the headlights? Rectangular headlights was one of the biggest features in the GM line up for '75 over '74.   :chin:

In 76 the Caprice got rectangular headlights, all other full size Chevy's from the Impala down still had round lights that year. In 77 all B body's got rectangular lights.
I was a Chevy guy before seeing the light and switching to Cadillac.

My first car was a 76 caprice, with the rectangular headlights.   Case closed Misfits.   :Muttley:

GJ....I know you were a Chebby guy, and I can't place the year of the Caprice that had the large single headlights. The 6014's. Was that '75???   :scratchhead:

The Caprice had quad round lights from 65 to 75. Rectangle 76 to 86. 87 they went to a composite light, But all B body Chevy's had 4 round lights starting in 58.

The paint and ground effects may not be up to Misfit standards, but the quality of the paint job and the workmanship is usually top notch on the low riders.

Or do you mean an Old brain fart?
Anyway, not a problem. I switched over to Cadillac only 3 years ago, now I have two and have a lot to learn. I'm having a lot of brain farts.
