Light And Shadow

Getting The Boy's bike ready for the State level Special Olympic Games I was struck by the image...


I think it's just a wonderful picture.

Yes, that is moss on the Biscayne...

    It's Florida. Car outside will have moss or stuck pollen on it, unless you wash it weekly.

      The Biscayne started life as a 1991 Caprice Classic with a 305 smallblock.

      When I de=chromed it and put a '95 Impala SS engine and trans in there it was starting to look a lot like an Impala, but the Impala community really detests clones and cloners.

      So I dug out the history book and checked to see what the stripped down version of the B-Body was through the ages.

      Bel Air, Del Ray, Biscayne, Impala and Caprice had all been B marques and had all been the base model for one generation or another.

      So I latched onto Biscayne because Key Biscayne is in Florida!

      The story we tell the marks at car shows is: Biscayne is the export name of the police package for Europe for the Caprice/Impala from 1991-1996. Only Poland bought them...

      The story is bolstered somewhat with the Impala SS being badged Caprice SS in middle eastern sales.
