KNOW YOUR CAR LINE LETTERING

[LS1GN]

Most of you all know these, but here is a refresher just in case:

Mid 1980s GM lettered chassis:
A = Century, Celebrity, Ciera & 6000
B = Lesabre, Caprice, Delta 88 & Parisienne
C = Electra, Deville & 98
D = Fleetwood Limousine
E = Riviera, Eldorado & Toronado
F = Camaro & Firebird
G = Regal, Malibu, Monte Carlo, Cutlass, Bonneville, Grand Prix
J = Skyhawk, Cimarron, Cavalier, Firenza, J2000
K = Seville
P = Fiero
T = Chevette & T1000
X = Skylark, Citation, Omega & Phoenix
Y = Corvette

These designations changed through the years, for example, A bodies were totally different in the years earlier than this.

You might not know that FoMoCo used names like "Fox" and "Panther" but Chrysler used letters more like the General. I can post old Chrysler chassis but who really cares!?!?!?!

And a few more:
H: Vega, Monza, Astre, Sunbird, Firenza, Shyhawk (RWD from 1970 to 1981)
L: Corsica, Beretta (and Canadian Pontiac derivatives; I don't remember what they were called)
N: Grand Am, Achieva, Skylark

In the early 80s the Grand Am was part of the Gbodys as was the ElCamino.

Yeah, that was a "snapshot" from 1984.

Like I wrote in my post - these designations changed over time.

Obviously there were no Vegas manufactured in 1985.

Pontiac version of the Corsica was the Tempest, Beretta was the same 😀

Ahhh Canada - I've been there 3 or 4 times. Canadians get the chance to see Mercury pickup trucks - I have seen one in person once.

True, but on the other hand, back in the day (before my time mind you) we got Beaumonts instead of Chevelles lol!
