So if your car was Canadian built, GM has all documentation in an archive? How do you get to it?

Funny how you never hear those terms when they feature an old mid 60's Impala or when truck mags show off a mid 70's C10. I don't think they even show 74-81 F Bodies in that light & they are in the same boat; underpowered, big bumpers, not much lighter than a G3. For that matter, the new Camaro & Challenger weigh more than most of our cars.....

The only time Olds was top dog at GM for overall sales or ever attained that mark. If you look at sales numbers from 73-77; Corvette, Camaro, Trans-Am or whatever else from whoever else (take your pick), don't come close. Don't even get me started about how these cars kicked butt in NASCAR during those years. These are the best cars since the 55-57 Chevy Shoe Box's. I don't give a !@$#* what anyone says.

You know it wasnt just the G3 years that were good for Cutlass ,until they went to FWD in 88 they were the best selling car in the country.THey were the most stolen until well into the 90's . Just look at how sales really sucked when there were no more a/g bodies in the line up. Had they kept building Cutlass and a few more models (Delta 88 and 98 Regency) there would still be Olds and Pontiac. Genius' !!! pisses me off when I think about it .
