GM E platform
The General Motors E platform (commonly called E-Body) was a front wheel drive personal luxury car automobile platform produced from 1979 through 2002. It was essentially identical to Cadillac's K platform, but that was dedicated to sedans, while all E-bodies were coupes. A smaller version, the GM V platform, was produced for two "halo cars", the Buick Reatta and Cadillac Allante. These only lasted from 1987 through 1993, however.
Previous E-bodies date back to the 1966 introduction of the Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Toronado, two groundbreaking front wheel drive cars. The only vehicle to survive the E-body was the Riviera, which moved to the GM G platform for its final years.
This platform was the basis for the following vehicles:
- 1979-1985 Cadillac Eldorado
- 1986-1991 Cadillac Eldorado
- 1992-2002 Cadillac Eldorado
- 1966-1989 Oldsmobile Toronado
- 1990-1992 Oldsmobile Toronado
- 1966-1976 Buick Riviera
- 1988-1993 Buick Riviera
