H-Body or W-Body?
 

Okay.... I feel really dumb but, what's the difference between an H body and a W body?

I've never heard of either except in here.
I've got a '99 SSE and for some mods, I need to know which body style I have...

Bonneville = H-body
Grand Prix = W-body

There are other cars made by GM that fall under the same body because essentially they are the same car.

Thanks!

Vehicles using the W-body include:

107.5 in wheelbase:

o 1988-1996 Buick Regal
o 1988-1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
o 1988-1996 Pontiac Grand Prix
o 1990-2001 Chevrolet Lumina
o 1995-1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Wait, now I feel like the nub...

What are the 2000-2005 Bonnevilles then?

THAT was built on the "G platform"

You would think in the three years that i have been here I would have heard that....no?

depends who you talk to......Wikipedia is not accurate.....

The 2k Bonnevilles have an H in the Vin. Not a G. Let's kill that myth.

Yes lets kill this myth....

The 00-05 Bonnies are H Bodies... 1G2H<--- H Body
