Yahoo Autos Once an invisible econobox, today, this '94 Chevy Cavalier turns heads
Cheap economy cars aren't often preserved for posterity, but this 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier sedan is certainly an exception. It's clean, (nearly) pristine and shows just 18,000 miles. it's up for auction right now on eBay Motors,, too.
The Cavalier nameplate had made its debut back in 1982, one of GM's J-car family of front-wheel-drive subcompacts. The J-cars and the mid-size A-cars both followed by two years the General's first group of front-wheel-drive small cars, the star-crossed X-cars.
In 1994, the Cavalier had yet to be treated to a major redesign — that would arrive, finally, in 1995. The model was offered as a coupe, sedan, station wagon and convertible. With the new generation right around the corner, the 1994 model was largely unchanged. Its standard 2.2-liter engine had 10 more horsepower than before, however, and the car added tinted glass and a right-hand outside mirror to its standard equipment list. The '94 Cavalier was available in VL ("Value Leader"), RS and Z24 trim.
