Chronology | |
Successor | GM G platform |
Beginning in 1985, General Motors used the C platform or C-Body as the designation for its new front-wheel-drive full-sized automobile platform. The platform was similar to the H platform, with both sharing the same 110.8 in wheelbase. Most C-body vehicles were replaced with cars on the related G, H, and K platform designations.
The Cadillac Series 75 briefly made its return on this platform, stretched by 23.6" to a wheelbase of 134.4".
This platform was the basis for the following vehicles:
