1985 Chevrolet Caprice & Impala

Few vehicles capture the atmosphere of 1980s America quite like the Chevrolet Caprice. Its massive rectangular body, distinctive front end and unmistakable silhouette made it a familiar sight on suburban streets, highways and police department parking lots.

Built on General Motors' legendary B-body platform, the Caprice represented the traditional American full-size car: spacious, comfortable and designed for long journeys.

Now this classic arrives in Project Zomboid alongside the Chevrolet Impala, bringing an extensive collection of civilian, police and service vehicles to the abandoned roads of Kentucky.

With 18 vehicle configurations, multiple body styles, two levels of protective armor and numerous customization options, the collection offers much more than a single classic sedan.

Whether you're searching for a family station wagon, restoring an old police cruiser or assembling a garage filled with American automotive history, there's plenty to discover.

18 Chevrolet Caprice and Impala Variants

The collection includes several body styles and a wide selection of specialized vehicles.

Classic Chevrolet Caprice

• Caprice Sedan - The traditional four-door full-size sedan with unmistakable 1980s styling.
• Caprice Coupe - A two-door version with the elegant proportions of a classic American personal car.
• Caprice Wagon - A spacious station wagon with an extended rear body.
• Caprice Wagon 2 - An additional wagon configuration offering another variation of the familiar Chevrolet design.

Chevrolet Impala Fleet Vehicles

The Impala lineup expands the collection with numerous vehicles inspired by the public services and organizations of Kentucky.

Available configurations include:

• Police department patrol cars
• Kentucky State Police vehicles
• Additional local law enforcement liveries
• Unmarked police configurations
• Prison service vehicles
• Ranger vehicles
• Fire department service cars
• Airport vehicles
• Taxi configurations
• Other specialized fleet and service variants

These vehicles help populate the game world with recognizable transportation that fits naturally into police stations, government facilities, parking lots and city streets.

All configurations feature four seats, making them suitable for traveling with a small group of survivors.

Two-Tier Armor Protection

A full-size American sedan might look imposing, but its original bodywork was never intended to withstand a zombie apocalypse.

Fortunately, the mod provides two different armor sets, allowing players to reinforce their vehicles according to available resources and personal preferences.

Wooden Armor

Wooden protective components offer an improvised approach to vehicle reinforcement.

They give the Caprice a rough, makeshift survival appearance, particularly when combined with additional bumper equipment.

Metal Armor

Metal protective components provide a second tier of reinforcement, allowing you to create a more heavily equipped vehicle.

Available protection includes:

• Reinforced front and rear bumpers
• Bullbars and additional protective attachments
• Window armor
• Door protection
• Engine compartment reinforcement
• Headlight protection

Both armor sets give players more freedom when preparing their favorite Chevrolet for dangerous journeys through Knox County.

Classic Styling and Customization

Beyond protective equipment, the collection includes numerous accessories that can be crafted or discovered throughout the game world.

Available customization options include:

• Multiple bumper configurations
• Bullbars and exterior protective equipment
• Roof racks for additional accessories
• Vinyl roof covers
• Several tire options
• Different exterior textures and liveries
• Removable body panels and accessories

Vinyl roof covers are a particularly fitting addition, capturing a recognizable styling trend of classic American automobiles.

The collection also introduces components designed to be shared with other General Motors B-body vehicles.

This makes the Caprice and Impala part of a broader family of compatible classic cars, offering more possibilities for maintenance and restoration.

Detailed Animations and Interactive Components

All vehicles feature detailed animations and interactive body parts.

The hood, trunk, doors and windows are fully animated. The interior and character remain visible, while improved entering, exiting and aiming animations make interactions feel more natural.

Additional features include:

• Removable 3D components that can be placed in the game world
