Welcome to A & G Body Cars

   

 This site is dedicated to the Preservation and Modification of General Motors midsized cars built from 1973 to 1987.



   Generations
    When visiting Club sites and model specific Forums, Generations can sometimes be confusing. The first generation of the A Body is generally considered to be1964 to 1967. Yet the first generation of the El Camino was 1959 to 1960 (based on the Impala or B body), and the first generation of the Regal was 1973 to 1977.
  A or G body?
    The A body car designation was used by General Motors on their rear wheel drive midsized autos from 1964 to 1981.
   In 1982 GM Changed the car line code for their midsized cars from A to G.Using the A body designation for their new front wheel drive cars.
   In 1988, most G-bodies were moved to the new front wheel drive GM W platform,  GM later used the GM G platform (FWD) designation for unrelated full-sized cars.
Note: Most Vendors refer to all 1978 to 1987 GM midsized vehicles as G cars.
