Default GM history quiz ?

This is the Corvettes 50th birthday, and General Motors has two nameplates older than the Corvette, what are they?

BTW, LaSabre was the name of a Buick in 1951, but it was a totally different car. The first use of LeSabre in a production Buick was in 1962 when the LeSabre and in 1963 the Electra model came out. This was the first year for the Riviera.

Alright, the two are the Cadillac 'Sedan Deville' and the 'Chevy Suburban'. these are the only nameplates older than the Chevy Corvette.

You gave up too easily. What was the rarest option in 1979?

I don't believe there was a radio delete option in 1979.

That would be my guess if it included the factory electric fan. I have never been able to find an RPO number for that fan.

aussiejohnThe first Holden ( General Motors-Holden) was built in 1948 and Holden is still building cars today, although we now call them Commodores. You will get one soon called the Pontiac GTO. And possibly the El Camino next year. Soon, Australians vill rule ze vorld!!!!! :auto: :reddevil :bs
