würd ich jetzt gerne wissen was genau die Bezeichnung F-Body bedeutet:
Ich war immer der Meinung Firebird und Camaro der 2.Generation.
Bitte um Aufklärung

Realizing the bottom had fallen out of the big car market, Plymouth sought to downsize. Unable to do so with a car, they did it with a name. The popular Fury nameplate was now being affixed to the mid-sized line, making the "New Small" Fury, on paper at least, seem more fuel efficient.
There was still a big Fury, carrying on with bodies that were brand new in 1974. To distinguish this car from the new "smaller" Fury, Plymouth dubbed it the Gran Fury. Applied' to the top-trimmed Fury the previous three years, Gran Fury moniker now identified the entire full-sized line.
The new "small" Fury (huge cars by today's standards) line consisted of the aforementioned 115-inch wheelbase coupes and the carry-over 117.5-inch wheelbase sedans and wagons with new front clips restyled to accept the coupe's grille and headlight panel. As such, these cars would carry on until the B-body's demise at the end of the 1978 model year.
Single-unit headlights returned to the B-body Plymouths for the first time since 1966. Once considered down-scale from dual-headlight systems, these headlamps were enjoying a resurgence, perhaps because they evoked a certain formality auto designers were then seeking to convey. As such, the top-of-the-line Gran Fury Brougham was also given single-unit headlights while lesser Gran Furys had to'make do with the out-of-fashion duals. In 1976 the whole Gran Fury line would get these headlamps and keep them through the line's final year in 1977.
