Our 1988 Chevrolet Caprice is a quintessential full-size American sedan that brings authentic late-80s realism to any film or television production. With its boxy profile, chrome accents, and wide stance, this model embodies the aesthetic of suburban America, government fleets, and law enforcement vehicles from the era.
This specific Caprice is finished in a factory-correct two-tone silver and charcoal grey exterior, with period-appropriate bench seating and a plush cloth interior. The car is in excellent condition inside and out, maintaining its original features, hubcaps, and trim. It’s mechanically reliable and camera-ready from all angles.
Suggested Uses in Film/TV Productions:
• Training Day (2001-style films) – For flashbacks or period setups in crime thrillers, the Caprice works as a civilian ride in urban environments or as a detective’s unmarked car in late-80s sequences.
• Boyz n the Hood (1991) – While this film is set in the early ’90s, the Caprice was still widely used and visible. It can function well as a parked street vehicle or background car in South Central LA-style settings.
• American Made (2017) – For any production involving DEA or government operations, the Caprice is a common sight from that era, used as a surveillance car, federal agent cruiser, or airport drop-off vehicle.
Popular Configurations for Productions:
• Unmarked Police Car: Black steel wheels, spotlight, and push bar available upon request. Perfect for period crime procedurals or detective stories.
• Yellow Taxi Cab: We can dress the Caprice in vintage yellow taxi livery for use in 1980s-90s NYC or Chicago settings.
• Government/Fleet Car: The Caprice was widely used by the FBI, IRS, and other federal agencies in the ’80s and ’90s—ideal for scenes with agents or official use.
• Suburban Family Car: Add child seats, groceries, or family props to make this the perfect “dad car” for a midwestern household.
