OLDSMOBILE OMEGA X-BODY BASELINE WEIGHT DATA

A baseline weight study was made of the 1979 Oldsmobile X-Body 4-Door Sedan with a 2.8 litre V-6 engine and an automatic 3-speed transaxle (front wheel drive) transmission. The vehicle teardown was limited to the detail necessary to be useful to predict weight reduction for automotive fuel conservation studies. A complete parts list, which includes component description, quantity per car, total weight per car, material description, method of fabrication and gauge thickness, and photographs of the major components, are presented. A weight summary and material distribution list are included.
