What is a Caprice SS

Chevrolet built it's last Impala in 1985 and from that year forward the car was badged and sold as a Caprice with no available Impala model, the exception was the 1994-1996 Impals SS model. Little to anyone's knowledge the Impala SS is really a Caprice with the Impala SS option package (WX3 = Merchandised package, Impala SS) selected during the ordering process. Caprice's have always been a popular export car to the middle east like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. During the production years of the 1994-1996 Impala SS, Chevrolet actually exported the Caprice SS (WX8 - Merchandised package, Caprice SS) to these countries. It has been told the reason GM exported the Impala SS badged as the Caprice SS is because the Caprice already had a good reputation in those countries. The Caprice SS was identical to an Impala SS, all the Impala SS emblems that appears on the U.S. model were replaced with Caprice SS emblems. Examples: Rear Quarter Panel Scripts instead of saying Impala SS were replaced with Caprice SS, same for the dash emblem above the radio. The Impala emblems on the rear "C" pillars and trunk remained the same. Colors in the Caprice SS were the same three colors, however I know the U.S. color (DCM) Dark Cherry Metallic was named (BCM) Black Cherry Metallic for the export Caprice SS. The picture shows several Victory Red colored Caprice SS's in use by the Kuwait State Army, I am not sure if GM exported these Caprice SS's in the Victory Red color or if they were repainted in country for the Kuwait State Army.
