Fair use rationale for Image:1983 oldsmobile cutlass supreme.jpg

Image:1983 oldsmobile cutlass supreme.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 00:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

this article needs to be corrected. it is wrong. the first "g body" car was the 1969 grand prix followed by the 1970 monte carlo. while most of the content is accurate, the statements regarding when the g platform was first used are false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.124.224.103 (talk • contribs)

Merge with GM A platform (RWD)?

I moved some information which was only relevant to the pre-1982 models to the GM A platform (RWD) article. However since these cars were really the same, I wonder if the two pages should be merged into the same article, titled GM A/G platform (RWD). Thoughts? 71.134.245.164 (talk) 02:40, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I manufacture after market car parts for both of these bodies all though they are both very similar there is enough difference to warrant keeping them separate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.179.132.87 (talk) 15:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I think, too, that we shouldn't merge the two articles. Although it is true that A and G bodies are very similar, GM used separate names for them and there are VIN codes for G-bodies and for A-bodies. Also, Literature refers to them as G-bodies. Presently, we have the situation that Chevrolet Monte Carlo is linked to this article and companion Pontiac Grand Prix to A-bodies. Historically GM gave GP and then-new MC a platform of their own and coined it the G-body. We should do it as GM did and separate A and G bodies. --Chief tin cloud (talk) 10:42, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

title

why is the title specifically 1969? Then most of the article is about the 80's platform? Why aren't the 69- vehicles even in the list of vehicles? Gjxj (talk) 16:09, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Someone changed titles on all the GM platform articles several years ago claiming that disambiguating them by "RWD" and "FWD" was somehow nonstandard, but never explained or discussed it.

There was a rough consensus to move them back but another editor repeatedly derailed the discussions so nothing ever came of it. Now might be a good time to revisit this. --Sable232 (talk) 15:48, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
