Oldsmobile Alero History
History
Introduced for 1999, the Alero replaced both the Achieva and the compact Cutlass, sharing its chassis and engines with the Pontiac Grand Am. It was offered as a four-door sedan or two-door coupe in GX, GL, and GLS trims.
The Alero holds a poignant place in the marque's history: it was Oldsmobile's last new model nameplate, and the very last Oldsmobile ever built — a Dark Cherry Metallic 'Final 500 Edition' GLS sedan — rolled off the Lansing line on April 29, 2004, signed under the hood by the plant's employees.
