Buick's 4.1V6 4bbl was a credit delete option starting in 1980 until 1982.

I didn't know they had it so early! I knew a guy who had a Fleetwood with this engine, I thought it was an 1983, so maybe it was an 1982... Anyway, I can't tell the difference between 1982 and 1983 Cadillacs!

#3-That's a 67 Pontiac but it's not a Grand Prix..

#4-That's a Buick but it's not a Skylark (even if it looks like one, it's not an Apollo either)

#5-In fact Chevrolet was the first division to have a stereo radio!

#6-The longest hardtop car is it's over 233" long, and it's not a DeVille...

Keep searching!

3 and 4


Are they weird Canada only models?

Down here, to me at least, the top car is a Grand Prix and the sedan is either a Skylark or and Apollo.


I am going to use basic deduction for 6...

I assume that you mean a full hardtop sedan, without any pillars, not just hardtop doors without frames.

Longest car? I assume that it would be a Cadillac.

Hardtop? So it would have to have been built before 1976 when GM built it's last hardtop full size cars.

Cadillac did not built a hardtop Fleetwood after 1964, all Fleetwoods were pillared 4 door sedans for 1965 on.

From 1959 to 1964 the Cadillac Fleetwood and DeVille sedan use the same wheelbase.

So I am going to guess....1958 Cadillac Fleetwood.


On the radios...I assumed Chevrolet since it was the lower end car...

I know that Cadillac offered an FM radio in 1964 or so, Pontiac offered FM around 1964-65, not sure about Oldsmobile...

What about GMC?

[doh]

a 1967 Grand Parisienne.

1992 Olds Achieva

REALLY??
I would have put serious money down that it was the 1993 Allante (launched early Spring 1992).

Number 3 is a weird Canadian model, A 67 Grande Parisienne.
Doh got it right

As for number 4, look at the license plate, it wasn't available on this continent and it was still produced in the 1980's!

It's a pillarless hardtop, it has a shorter wheelbase but has longer overall length than a DeVille. It's not a Cadillac...

What about GMC?

You are probably right about GMC, I didn't think about this one! I was thinking about car divisions.
Also, I asked what was the last division to have a stereo radio.

Nobody could take a guess on these?

I'll give a hint, they are both from my favourite division

1-What was the first GM model to have a standard tilt steering wheel?

2-Which car has the model # 46669? Which years was it available?
