The Oldsmobile Silhouette was a minivan produced by General Motors' Oldsmobile division from 1993 to 2004. It was a rebadged version of the Chevrolet Lumina APV, a model that was designed and engineered by Pontiac. The Silhouette was offered in two trims, the GL and the GLS, and was initially available in three engine options: a 3.1-liter V6, a 3.4-liter V6, and a 3.8-liter V6. The 3.1-liter engine was later discontinued, and the 3.8-liter V6 became the most popular choice for its power and efficiency. The Silhouette was known for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and relatively affordable price point, making it a popular choice for families. It also offered various features that were uncommon in minivans at the time, such as an optional sliding door for easier access and a versatile interior that could be configured to accommodate passengers and cargo in various ways.

While the Silhouette was a successful model for Oldsmobile, it faced stiff competition from other popular minivans like the Chrysler Town & Country, the Honda Odyssey, and the Toyota Sienna. The brand's decline in the late 1990s and early 2000s, coupled with the growing popularity of other minivan models, led to the Silhouette's discontinuation in 2004. However, it remains a notable entry in the history of minivans, particularly for its innovative design and early adoption of features that eventually became standard in the segment. It also helped Oldsmobile establish itself as a contender in the burgeoning minivan market, offering families a reliable and practical option with a touch of Oldsmobile's signature style and sophistication.
