    Even in the broche on this page it says
    1) Not availiable on Caprice Estate models.
    2) Standard on Caprice Estate models. Availiable on Impala and Bel Air.
    3) Availiable on all models.

    So whatever is being suggested as standard on the Caprice but as an option on the Impala and Bel Air would suggest to us here that it would be part of the Caprice's trim level if that makes sense.

    Yeah, pretty much everything that was considered an "upgrade option" was available on the Caprice. The smaller engine wasn't, but was available on the lower trimmed wagons. Some things were not available on the Bel-Air wagon in '73, even as options, such as power windows.

    He sent me more pictures. I will post later. Its not as pretty as it appears. Lower fenders are bad, trim is pretty beat up. I am no longer interested in it

    That was why he took the pics at high angles. lol. Just kidding, I dont know, but the angle of the photos sure makes the car look better. Now that we know there is rust there, you can even see it in the pics on the ad.

    All of that rust and the lack of A/C and 3rd seat are real negatives to me and that is something considering that the '73 Caprice Estate is my favorite clamshell.

    I will admit my car has rust in the usual locations; some around the rear windows, lower dog legs/quarter panels and spare tire bottom, but this car has a lot more rust than mine on the lower front fenders and bottom of the doors.

    If only this '73 had A/C and 3rd seat and a little less rust, it would be my dream car.
