The Buick Apollo was a compact car based on the GM X platform and manufactured from 1973 to 1975. It was powered by a 250 in³ Chevrolet inline six or an optional 350 in³ Buick V8, available with either a 2- or 4-barrel carburetor. The Oldsmobile 260 was added as the base V8 option for 1975. It was available as a hatchback and notchback coupe and as a 4 door sedan. The two-door models were renamed Skylark for 1975, and the sedan followed the year after.
A GSX package was available on the coupe for 1974. It was available in red or white and featured a blacked-out grille, unique striping, and bucket seats, among other features.[1]
