From 1985 onwards, the C-body designation was used for front-wheel drive luxury cars. 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:

Famous quotes containing the words front, wheel and/or drive:
“You did not expect to find such spruce trees in the wild woods, but they evidently attend to their toilets each morning even there. Through such a front yard did we enter that wilderness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The wheel is come full circle.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
