- GM C platform, also known as the C-Body, was a front wheel drive (FWD) automobile platform used by General Motors for its full-sized automobiles from 1985 through 1996, using a transverse engine configuration, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel independent suspension. Significantly smaller, lighter and more fuel-efficient than the platform they replaced, the C Platform vehicles were noted for statistically having nearly the same interior room as their predecessors. Introduced in early 1984, they were marketed as the Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, Buick Electra and Cadillac Deville/Fleetwood. All used, V6 or V8 engines, GM's TMH440 transmission (initially), and unibody construction. All C-Body vehicles had been aerodynamically refined, with the Oldsmobile having a .383 drag coefficient. Similar to the H platform, both platforms shared the same 110.8 in wheelbase. Most C-body vehicles were ultimately replaced with cars on the related G, H, and K platform designations. The Cadillac Series 75 limousine briefly made its return on this platform, stretched by 23.6" to a wheelbase of 134.4". (en)
