The General Motors A platform (commonly called the A-body) was a mid-size car automobile platform designation used from 1982 to 1996. Previously the A body designation had been used for rear wheel drive mid-sized cars.
The A-body consisted of 4-door sedan, 2-door coupé and a 4-door station wagon It was updated in 1989 with a slightly longer wheelbase. It also briefly saw duty as an All Wheel Drive platform for the Pontiac 6000. Later GM FWD platforms shared many components and systems with the A-Body, in particular the GM W platform midsize cars and U-body minivans.
The A-body began to be phased out in favor of the GM W platform beginning in 1990, although production did not end until 1996.
