GM K platform (RWD)

:seealso|GM K platform (FWD)The General Motors K platform (commonly called the K-body) was the basis of the Cadillac Seville model over two entirely different automobile platforms.

The rear-wheel drive K platform was based on the X-body Chevrolet Nova and shared components with the F-bodies of the 1970s. It used a stretched 114.3 in wheelbase, a simple front double A-arm suspension with a solid axle and leaf springs in the rear. It was the basis of the successful Cadillac Seville of that era. The platform used unibody construction with a front subframe assembly, a design which first appeared in 1967 on the first F-body Chevrolet Camaro.
