    Two doors, tu-tone blue with medium blue interior, and those awesome wheels (hoping they are factory and not something someone was able to cobble together) make for a very desirable Chevrolet.

    Apparently those were the standard wheel covers for the Caprice landau coupe that year.

    Those were the optional custom wheel covers that were only offered in 1980, looks like, from the brochures. 1980 was also the first year cornering lights were optional on Caprice.

    So those are covers, not cast wheels?

    That's the foto I looked at....guess I looked at the rear wheel? So the wires were std on the landau coupe. I stand corrected.........and glad we got this straightened out before KK saw it! :whew:
