One basic chassis/platform from GM. It has four differnt variations including two different ones that are both two doors & two differentvariations that are four doors. They're all almost exactly the samefrom the A-pillar froward and made by the same manufacturer. None of their green-houses are even close to interchangable.Two completely different rear bumpers & tail lights shared by one two door & one four door. A couple of people on this forum own one. Name the four cars.

Hmmm...sounds like maybe the '86-90? FWD Buick LeSabre and Electra, and Olds 88 & 98. Each pair had 2 different 2dr greenhouses, 2 different 4dr greenhouses, but basically the same front clips on each pair (except for grille and some trim).

It's gotta either be the early W-bodies. Lumina, Grand Prix, Cutlass, Regalor the early 80s B-bodies, Caprice, Parisianne, Eighty Eight, Electra

This might be anothert one of those questions where there

is two or three legitimate answers but if you read it very

carefully there's but ONE correct answer.

SAME manufacturer for all four cars. As in they're all the same Brand.

What about the Malibu and El Camino? El Camino and Malibu wagon share share rear bumpers and taillights while the 2-door and 4-door Malibu share taillights.

Ahh...I interpreted 'same manufacturer' to mean GM. 'Same brand', now that's different. Interesting. If I restrict mine to Buick or Olds it works..

The El Camino and Malibu one would work also I think.

I vote for mid-70's Chevelle/Malibu/El Camino

4 door: Chevelle/ Malibu Collonade sedan and Malibu/Laguna Estate Wagon

2 door: Malibu Collonade and el Camino

no greenhouses interchangeable and as hudson pointed out, El Camino and the wagon shared rear bumpers (with the lights in them), as did the Malibu coupe and sedan

[Sixty8panther]

Correct. You goys got it. A-body Chevrolets from the

mid 70s to the early 80s. Too bad the Malibu coupe

was discontinued in 1981.
