Vehicle Highlights
Oldsmobile's Silhouette was one of GM's dramatic front-drive minivans, featuring body panels of fiberglass-like composite. It was similar to the Chevrolet Lumina APV and the Pontiac Trans Sport.The Silhouette arrived in 1990 with a base powertrain consisting of GM's 120-horsepower 3.1-liter V6 and a 3-speed automatic transmission. Inside, seven bucket seats were standard, arranged in a 2-3-2 layout. One of the middle buckets could be deleted as a credit option.
