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].

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.
