    That interior looks pretty cheap for a Caprice. Door panels look pretty plain like they're from something else.....

    The car is a '69 Chevy Bel Air -Townsman, according to the VIN, not a Caprice. The front seat is wrong, the rest of the interior is correct for a Bel Air.

    With only two tail lights on each side wouldn't that make this a Belair and not even a Impala?

    It's a Bel Air Townsman as said, the seller is confused.:rolleyes:
    I don't even think you could get woodgrain on those?
    In any case the woodgrain trim is not factory, it looks like the stick on mylar stuff from the parts store.
    The car is pretty clean though.

    Take a close look at the woodgrain and surrounding trim; both look aftermarket and not original. Definitely not a Caprice.

    Correct on the two-tailight comment as well.

    Glad that mystery is solved! :scratchchin:

    I understand what he's saying but all those grammatical errors, gah. It almost sounds like he's saying "no rust solid floors" as if rust makes metal solid.

    Hard to believe the bidding how clearly cobbled together this one is.

    Yeah, I seen this the other day and could tell right off something was strange. I was pretty sure that is a Bel-Air interior. It looks like someone just added wood-grain to it. Still a neat car and probably not too many Bel-Air's with factory A/C. I did see on the original listing while he had Caprice, down below in small letters it says Townsman.
