This aspect, a sensible production economy at first, would have a negative impact on the future of the Buffalo models years later when GM switched transit production at the Pontiac plant to the modular RTS design, a radical change beginning in the late 1970s.

It also shifted its traditional, D platform Fleetwood limousine to the new C platform, ending production of the historic D platform.
