Not to ask a dumb question, but

Can someone tell me exactly what comprises the W-body family? What makes and year range does this cover. Thanks for the clarification!

88-present Grand Prix

88-04? (last year) Regal

present Lacross (Allure in Canada)

All Luminas 90-?

95-present Monte Carlo

88-97 Cutlass Supreme

Olds Intrigue

00?-present Impala

 

I think that's it..

I always forget that one.

The "Sentry" came aboard the "W Ship" in 97 (IIRC, 05 is the last year,) and the Lumina ran until 01. Otherwise that list is correct.

Prior to 97, the Century was in the ol ABody family..

Thanks for the info. Going by the chart, I guess that means my 99 olds cutless is not a W-body car. Does anyone know a different forum or site for this year car?

thanks so much

99 Olds Cutlass? The last year for them was 97. Are you sure you aren't talking about the Alero or something?

[GOT2B GM]

In the states they had a cutlass on the N - body(?) chassis. Sister cars to the Malibu, just subtle differences.

N-body is correct!

Well I'll be damned! I knew I saw that car before somewhere... kinda rare (around here anyways). I can't remember the last time I saw one, they must be more rare than the Olds minivans and SUVs.

C-Bad,

Its an 99 olds cutless GL. From what I understand This was the last year this car was made. 97,98 and 99 are basically all the same. They had a GLS model also.

 

Thanks for the links guys

Yep. I've been a member over there since I bought my Classic Malibu. Don't go over there expecting to find a crowd like you'll find over here, though!

 

Another site you might be interested in is http://www.malibuclub.ca seeing as your car is just a badge-engineered Malibu.

 

For those who don't know, the 97-99 Cutlass was just a stopgap for Olds to hold onto the Ciera and Achieva customers until the Alero was introduced (the Achieva was a fleet-only car in 98.) Like I mentioned before, it's obviously a badge-engineered Chevy Malibu...
