Oldsmobile Alero 2001 posters


Oldsmobile Alero

The Oldsmobile Alero was introduced in spring 1998 as a 1999 model to replace the Achieva and Cutlass. The Alero went into production on April 6, 1998, all being built in Lansing, Michigan. It was the last vehicle to be sold under the Oldsmobile brand, with production coming to an end on April 29, 2004.

History

The Alero was based on the GM N platform and was initially previewed with the Alero Alpha concept car, a V6-powered futuristic sport coupe which had both design elements seen in the production model and some which were never meant for production.

It was available either as a 4-door sedan or a 2-door coupé. It shared its chassis and many parts, including engines, with the Pontiac Grand Am. In 2003, the Alero's daytime running lights were changed from high-beam to low-beam.

The Alero was sold in selected European countries as the Chevrolet Alero, with the Oldsmobile badges still intact but with Chevrolet badges added to the grille and rear fascia during the 2000 model year. This was similar to how the Toronado was sold.

As a farewell to the Oldsmobile, the last 500 Aleros made up a special Final 500 Edition. These cars featured custom graphics inspired by vintage Oldsmobile logos, dark cherry metallic paint, and a plate showcasing each car's number in the 500. The Final 500 Edition car (#500 of 500) was the last Oldsmobile built and was signed under the hood by the employees of the General Motors Lansing plant before being given to the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum.
