Verbal Description: Jason Rhoades’ Caprice

Jason Rhoades’ Caprice (1996) is a Chevrolet Caprice Classic 4 Door Sedan. It measures 55 x 77 x 214 inches (139.7 x 195.6 x 543.6 cm) 

Rhoades’ Caprice is a real 1996 white Chevrolet Caprice, 4 door sedan that now sits parked on Gansevoort Street like it once sat parked outside the artist’s studio. The Caprice has rounded lines, a roomy interior and a stand-up hood ornament. A good cruising car, both durable and tough, it’s a car that has been used both for NYC taxis and police vehicles.
