1971 Chevrolet Caprice

For 1971 the top of the line Caprice was completely redesigned on a longer 121.5 inch wheelbase and featured bold fuselage styling like Chrysler's. Flush exterior door handles and double shell roofs were new on the Caprice. At mid year the Turbo Hydramatic transmission and variable ratio power steering became standard on all Caprice models, and the 400 Turbo Jet was rated at 300 gross horsepower, or 206 net horsepower with a single exhaust.
