Another car from the "Decline and Fall of General Motors" file. This car was built on GM's "X" platform, which had been around since 1962. By the end of the 70s this platform was positively stone age when compared to a car like the first generation front-wheel drive Honda Accord.
And while the 3rd generation X-cars (built between 1968 and 1974), are popular collectibles, this 4th and last generation is considered best forgotten.
*The most valuable thing about this car might be its rear wheel covers, which are from a Pontiac and
are correct to the '68 Firebird.
* This same platform was adapted to create
the first Cadillac Seville. Using the company's oldest, cheapest platform to build a new car for the prestigious Cadillac brand?! Yep, that was how GM did business in these dark days.
