Highways and Backroads: Spot a B or D today? Post a Pic

Ok, I know, I'm a low poster, under a year here, I have a 15month old, which means, work-wife-kid=not much time,
But hear me out before you cast doubt's or shrug your shoulders.

Do you have a cell phone camera? If you do, use it. Most of us like to see pictures of our generation B & D body cars still rolling on the streets, being worked on in a yard/shop, or just waiting to be bought.

If a thread has been posted like this before direct me there and I'll be more than happy to add to what I come across daily.
Got a 50 mile commute , I see a few a week and its pretty darn cool.

Box style and Bathtub beauty lines constitute the 77-96 generation.

If no one wants to submit to the thread, thats ok too. Just nice to see them out and about.

See this car most everyday at a local repair shop, I should find out who owns it, as he must work there, looks sharp.

Spotted this Caprice pulling into the original D&D on 3A in Quincy.

There was a club member sighting thread and random "anyone know this guy?" threads. But this is a good thread isea and an easy title to post to. I see them everywhere. Mostly beat to shit(mostly wagons, roadmaster wagons that is). I drive a lot myself and will now start taking pics.

I stop people when Im at a store if I see a nice one..... They look at me like Im nuts. I tell them about us, but seems a lot of people drive these because they were given to them.

either way, I love seeing them pass me going the opposite way on the highway

It's crazy, but since I've owned the white Caprice I've noticed I really don't see them that much anymore, like all of a sudden they're not around. I just saw one sitting in a driveway today I may ask about because it looks like it hasn't moved lately.

I saw at least four yesterday, including one in my own neighborhood.

This one was at Sachuest Point in Middletown in January:

No pic, but I passed by a Frosted Flakes Caprice in Norwood this morning. Probably not the same one as that picture; I didn't notice VTEC badges on this one.

I also spotted a lime green "bubble" coupe in Attleboro some months ago. Sharp looking, despite being on enormous rims.

Mike, I saw that green 2 door a couple year ago. I tried talking to him and he just started driving crazy to lose me....not sure what he was thinking....

Saw this at a cruise night in Candia, NH. Do you know what this is? I know what this is.








































(Super rare and valuable 1968 SS 427, they made under 1800 of them in 1968 of ANY body style offered, and this Sport Coupe was loaded. I was shocked to see it and ran over while a lot of other people didn't even know what it was...I'd be afraid to drive this car!)

This is related, leaping Deer!

Here's a few I have seen
Saw this one a few weeks ago at a Pepboys in Hazlet NJ


Saw this 94 Caprice in Wallingford CT.

Maybe he thought you wanted to race him.

Maybe he thought you were trying to pull him over in the 9C1

-ALF out....

That 91-92 Caprice looked great in person. The owner must have taken excellent care of if, I saw him at a local car wash around 11:30Pm the same evening lol.

I love how he parked far away from everyone and centered it within 4 spaces, haha

What, you don't do that? Christ, once my wagon gets painted I may as well just walk everywhere i'll be so paranoid about the paint.

Nice shot! Must have been near Rangeley or Weld? lol.. been going up to Weld for 33yrs, got a family camp there.
There always are some nice old finds for cars lurkin' up in western ME.

Great pic's ... keep 'em comming

Saw this beauty for sale in Bridgewater,
1967 Buick LeSabre sedan. Love the body lines on this car, it was badass. Not for 9k though.

My friend lives in the next town over, had to pickup a car of mine that was dumped in his yard

Is that Marquis for sale?

Spotted over the past few days-
LAB '93-'94 Caprice in the Lincoln Mall parking lot
LAB '91-'92 Caprice in Pawtucket
Black '69 Caprice convertible on a car carrier at the Newton rest area
White woody RMW and a '90-'92 Brougham hearse on 128.

out at a show today... got a late start with the little one.. so we didnt get the Olds or SS in the show, but fun was had...

Liked the BBB with the 18" rims... nice dash.
The DCM Caprice was done up like a SS on the exterior...For sale, but didnt get the price, I'll find it again I am sure ....

^^^ Good finds! I agree on the SS with 18's. I rarely see B/D bodies at shows. Sometimes at the Bass Pro Shops show Rt 1 Foxboro. But few and far between.
Anywho. I found this parked at WWI memorial park in N. Attleborough yesterday. The wife rolled her eyes when I wanted to take pics before we left.
Bad cell phone pics...

What year you think that Ladau Caprice Coupe was?- '77? I love the Targa style look to those cars with the lines of that roof.
Nice pics! My wife does the same Check those old school turbine wheels!
Got to post a few pics stored on the cell phone from last week...

I would agree '77. I think it looks a bit different from the '79 aero I had. Note the moon roof. I wonder if it was dealer installed, like my Monte SS was, or was it ordered factory...

I think that's a 79 Caprice from what I can see of the nose, the 77-78 had a different headlight treatment and grille setup (that I never realized until kinda recently.)



Nice topless B-body!

^It's a 79 guys

77, 78, & 79 all have their minor differences. They are easier to tell apart than the 80-85, or 87-90. 86 is excluded because it's too easy with the one year only front end.

I grew up around these cars, & I still can't I'd them very well

Olds wagon in North Adams



SS in Pawtucket

Heading north on I-95 Yesterday just past Attleboro I saw a DGGM SS flying up the left lane 3 of the plate #'s were 569. Had an A6 wagon right on his tail

I keep seeing a really nice white woody RMW for sale on 125 in NH north of Plaistow in the driveway of some commercial space, I meant to stop and take a pic of it/look at it. It's been there a while, prob. too much money.

Nice to see an old battle axe still grinding out a hard day's work.[img][/img]

WB4 Roadmaster in North Providence on Friday. I don't think it's for rent.



Other sightings without photos:
DCM woody Caprice at a shop on Trapelo Road in Belmont yesterday
LDM woody Roadmaster on Route 1 in Norwood yesterday
Nice looking DGGM Caprice wagon on 95 in Attleboro Sunday. Was DGGM available before 1994? I swear I only saw one tailpipe.

95/96 WB4 RMW in some sort of green but not DGGM. Looked good driving by!

Dem rims is mad phat yo

That's the one!

That's exactly how I would do a 2 door.... EXCEPT I wouldve extended the front door back further. He has the right idea with the small back window, I don't like when they have that huge t-bird looking window.
If you think about a 2 door box that's how it's done with a solid c pillar (or "b" now as a 2 door) and a small rear window.
I wish I had the space for another car. I'd love to tackle a project like this.....

Roadmaster in Colt State Park, Bristol, RI


Caprice in East Providence


Also saw a rusty white '93-'94 Caprice (probably a 9C1) in a condo complex in Bristol yesterday, and a black CTS-V in East Providence.
