The Z platform or Z-body automobile platform designation was used on two different types of vehicles made by General Motors.
The first was the second-generation Chevrolet Corvair from 1965 to 1969, which was a rear-wheel-drive and rear-engine compact car that replaced the previous Y-Body Corvair.
Vehicles using the rear-drive/rear-engine Z-body include:
- 1965–1969 Chevrolet Corvair 500
- 1965–1969 Chevrolet Corvair Monza
- 1965–1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa
The second was Saturn's automobile platform from its debut in 1990 until 2002, which were front-wheel drive compact cars. This platform was replaced with the GM Delta platform.
Vehicles using the front-drive/front-engine Z-body include:
- 1991–2002 Saturn SC
- 1991–2002 Saturn SL
- 1992–2002 Saturn SW
Famous quotes containing the word platform:
“Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.”
