Context_1 : 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 Chevrolet Celebrity and platform-mates were introduced in the 1982 model year which were essentially similar in mechanical design and interior space with the troubled X-car compacts, but long enough to be classified as intermediate cars with more traditional styling. They were initially offered alongside, but eventually supplanted rear-drive nameplates such as the Malibu for the intermediate niche.
