1992?
I remember that.
OK I learned something today. I had a 1977 Monte Carlo. It had the stacked headlights. I was under the impression that all 1977 Malibus had stacked headlights but I did the research. Base model Malibus still have the round lights. Malibu classics had squared stacked headlights.
FWIW.
1975-1979 Cadillac Coupe de Ville all looked pretty much the same. Unless you are a real Coupe de Ville officianado you probably might miss the differences. I know I wouldn’t know them. 🙂

That was about a month before Hurricane Andrew..
Yes, I made a mistake, but I later posted a picture of the 1977 Monte Carlo, which has stacked headlights, whereas the car in the old photo from a newspaper the headlights are side-by-side. It’s a Cadillac Coupe De Ville. Anywhere from 1975-1979.🙂
Strictly speaking, if caused by a slide on the sea floor, the wave at Daytona Beach was a mini-tsunami, not a rogue wave, which develops by chance as a result of wave interactions at sea.
Somehow today’s Democrats would say it is the fault of Trump, tax breaks, climate change or evil Republicans!
I suspect they were detuned on purpose for MPG ratings. 🙂
Yes a Caddy - you can see the hood ornament.
Kind of hard for me to see in that newspaper picture. But then I have bad eyes. 😋
Even Cadillac had a small car that was an clone of the Chevy Citation, which was an underrated car. A Cadillac x body car was nothing but a badge engineered Chevy.
yes, and why is this a big deal. I’d rather read where the Byedones are behind bars.
Been a long time but iirc it had 195hp and the S-3 had something to do with the LS3 engine. With under 50k miles it was junk. I traded it in on a Chevy LUV pu. Think about that for a moment!
SOURCE: See 2nd paragraph under New chassis
No, S-3 had nothing to do with the LS3 engine:
The LS3 was introduced by Chevrolet as the standard powerplant for the 2008 (and later) Corvette. This new engine produced 430 horsepower (321 kW) at 5,900 rpm and 424 lb./ft (575 Nm) of torque (these numbers are SAE certified), both of which were appreciable gains over the outgoing LS2.
SOURCE: The Complete History of GM’s LS Small-Block V8 Engines
But it seems like it might have something to do with LS5 & LS6:
The Chevrolet 454 engine was a part of the 2nd generation of Chevrolet big block engines. The first generation of Chevy big block engines was introduced in 1958, with the 2nd generation being introduced for production vehicles in beginning in 1965.
The introduction of the 454 engine did not actually begin until 1970. Beginning in 1970 this engine was available in the Chevrolet Corvette, Caprice, El Camino, Monte Carlo, and Chevelle, with the engine being made available in the GMC Sprint beginning in 1971.
This engine is still quite popular for performance enthusiasts, as is indicated by the number of aftermarket parts still available for this engine in some popular aftermarket magazines.
I did not note the date of 1992 or WHY the OP posted it.
I was being a little sarcastic and not very nice.
Sometimes we get in a little hurry -)
Thanks for your nice reply. lol
