Hello Everyone!

My name is Frank, and I reside in Southern California...Huntington Beach to be exact! I've always loved wagons and previously had a 1968 Impala Wagon, however it had SO much rust (outside, inside, underside, you name it) that I donated it to a childrens charity and decided to start fresh with a newer(ish) wagon. That's where my current 1995 Caprice Wagon came into my life! I'm not as mechanically inclined as many of you, so I have a reliable, local shop do my work for me. Ya, it's more expensive having a shop do my work, but the plus side is that they are really fantastic mechanics, reliable and very fair on their pricing. Even though I'm not a technical wrench turner, I thoroughly enjoy learning about the in's & out's of the Caprice Wagons. My family really loves the wagon and my 2 girls get a kick out of the "thumbs up" and looks we get driving around town. We plan on being long term owners of our ride. (I also have an all original white 1964 Cadillac Coupe de Ville which I just happened to purchase back in 1995, haha). I enjoy this website and am pretty thankful for the info all of you share and look forward to possibly meeting some of you sometime as well. Feel free to message me anytime. I'll share what I know and have learned about these fantastic wagons!

Thanks alot everyone for rolling out the Welcome (Wagon) ;-)

Krzdimond: Yes, the car has been repainted. Black was the original color. I purchased the car as you see it, paint & wheels, so I can't take any credit for it other than being the current owner. The previous owner was a body & paint man and kept it in pretty good shape and applied a pretty good paint job overall. The only thing that has been lacking is the metal trim around the windows, which he painted, but did not put as good of a prep on it in order for the paint to really "grab hold". There is flaking happening on various areas of the metal trim. Still, I love my daily driver!

Sprocket: haha! Can't put one over on you! You are correct, that's not Huntington Beach. These photos were taken by the previous owner before I purchased the wagon in January of this year.

Thanks again everyone for the acknowledgement!

Great looking car and I love the wheels. Have you made any changes inside? If you've been looking around, you know we love pics!
