The Chevrolet Celebrity is a mid-sized car produced by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors. The Celebrity (a na originally used by Oldsmobile in the 1960s) was introduced in 1981 for the 1982 model year. The Celebrity was the best-selling car in the United States in 1986. Although sold for only one generation Eagles Jason Peters Jersey , it received its first felift in 1984, and the other in 1986, which included a fe lifted front end and restyled taillights. The Celebrity’s last felift was in 1987, when posite headlamps repled the quad rectangular sealed beam units. The coupe was discontinued after 1988. Celebrity sedan production ended on July 7, 1989, while the wagon was discontinued in early 1990.

Overview

The Chevrolet Celebrity was based on the front wheel drive A-body platform ared with the century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser and the Ponti 6000.
Part of GM’s mid-size a-body quartet, The Celebrity used the sa engines as one of its siblings Eagles Riley Cooper Jersey , the Ponti 6000. Power steeringbrakes and an automatic transmission were standard equipnt in 1982 and 1983; the automatic beca optional later on. A 4-door station wagon debuted for 1984, as did a Euro sport handlingappearance pkage which included Sport Rallye wheels (14? steel), blked out window-area trim, a blk steering wheel, and a heavier duty F41 suspension. While engine choices for the Euro sport were identical to other Celebrities (other than the diesel), the interior of Euro sports featured unique red emblems on the interior door panels and da. The exterior featured unique red center stripes on the protective rubber door and bumper molding, and fender and trunk emblems were red rather than chro. The Rally rims could also be ordered with base models. Another model was the Celebrity CL, which had wood grain on the da and wheel and plu seats, and the Celebrity Classic Eagles Nick Foles Jersey , which deleted the fixed rear windows and added a mock convertible top and offered power windows (optional on other models).

The base 2.5 L “Tech IV” I4 engine (Ponti’s Iron Duke) was criticized for being underpowered, but a high-output fuel-injected V6 beca optional in 1985. The diesel engine departed for 1986. The Generation II engines, reworked for 1987, now had fuel injection standard and had a new distributor less ignition system, and a new Getrag-designed 5-speed manual transmission beca available with the V6. Balance afts were added to the Tech IV engine for 1988. The coupe was dropped for the 1988 model year, repled by the Beretta mid-size coupe. The 4-cylinder engine received a 12 hp (9 kW) gain late in the 1989 model year. The Celebrity also did not are the redesigned roofline and rear quarter window panels its siblings were given (starting in 1989), because the uping Chevrolet Lumina would reple the sedan for 1990. Only the station wagon remained for the 1990 model year, with a new optional 3.1 L V6 engine and door-mounted front seat belts with the other A-body cars.

The Celebrity was more spious than the rear-drive 1978-vintage Malibu that it was intended to reple (more so in wagon form, reverting to 8-passenger seating that had been missing from mid-size GM wagons since 1977) Eagles LeSean McCoy Jersey , with front wheel drive trtion and more responsive handling. These cars bettered the dismal recall record of their X-body parents. There were drivability problems with the puterized engine control system in 1982 models, and deterioration of the upper engine mount (also called a dogbone) caused enginetransaxle vibration[citation needed].

1987-1988 Chevrolet Celebrity coupes
Chevrolet Celebrities in all models were available with 2 different bolt patterns on the wheel hub – either 100mm (JA1 code) or 115mm (JA2 code). Additionally, the trans-axles and brakes were different on these o patterns. The smaller of the bolt pattern was used in the standard models, and used a non-vented disc brake while the larger bolt pattern was to house the heavy duty vented disc brakes. A misconception is that all Euro sports ca with the larger bolt pattern-this was not the case. Most of the heavy duty braking systems went to base model Chevrolet Celebrities for fleet vehicles and taxis.

In addition to the standard Euro sport pkage, there was a limited edition Euro sport VR version available, based on the 1986 Euro sport RS concept car. These very rare Celebrities were only produced for o model years (1987 and 1988) and ca in one of four available monochromatic color sches: Red, Silver, Blk, and White. Notably Harold Carmichael Jersey , Fern Green was omitted from the color selection. Euro sport VR’s were also fitted with special ground effects, and body decals. 1987 VR’s been available as sedans and wagons only, with the treatnt expanding to the coupe, for the 1988 model year. The 1987 models (often considered the most desirable) were given a special “VR only” interior, which included: Red carpeting, special tri-color door panels, bucket seats with thigh bolsters, and a rear seat cup holder. 1988 VR’s did not receive the sa interior treatnt, as it turned out to be too costly. 1988 models got the sa interior used in non VR Celebrities Tommy McDonald Jersey , with so getting standard trim, while others got upscale CL trim. All VR conversions were done by Auto style Cars, right down the street from the Oklahoma City assembly plant, from where all VR Celebrities are believed to have originated.
