Not much changed in the Full-Size Rear-Drive Chevrolet,
as a completely different more rounded Caprice was expected as a early '91 model
to replace the traditional boxy Sedan and Wagon.
This carryover Caprice still was powered by one of two 5.0-litter V-8's: 305 Cubic Inches and 170 Horsepower for the Sedan, but 307 cid and 140 Horsepower for the Wagon.
Both Engines had Throttle-Body Fuel Injestion and hooked to a Four-Speed Overdrive Automatic Transmission. Under the hood, new Quick Connect Fuel Lines were supposed to speed up servicing. Two new Metal Red Body Colors were offered.
