Chevrolet Celebrity

The Chevrolet Celebrity was a mid-size car built by General Motors. It was intoduced as an eventual replacement for the larger, rear-drive Malibu, which departed after 1983. The Celebrity was based on the X-body Citation chassis, but it was not affected by the dismal repair record of the Citation nearly as much. The Celebrity, along with its corporate mates including the Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and Pontiac 6000, were A-bodies (the previous rear-drive A-bodies now became G-bodies this year) and rode on a 104.9" wheelbase. The coupe and sedan would last until the end of the 1989 model year, while the wagon would survive into 1990.
