The rear-wheel drive C Platform designation was introduced in 1959 and used until 1984. It was an extended wheelbase version of the GM B platform. After 1984, the extended rear wheel drive platform was renamed to D platform and continued in production to 1996.

This platform was the basis for the following vehicles:
