Oldsmobile Models,Silhouette (1990–2004).

The Oldsmobile Silhouette is a minivan that was made by General Motors. The Oldsmobile Silhouette was discontinued as a direct result of General Motors discontinuing the Oldsmobile brand in 2004. The Silhouette was replaced by the Buick Terraza in 2005.

General Motors' first attempt at producing a minivan to compete with the Chrysler minivans, the rear wheel drive, truck-based Chevrolet Astro and its twin, the GMC Safari failed to make a noticeable dent in Chrysler's near monopoly of the minivan market in the 1980s, so this second attempt was made. The 1989 Oldsmobile Silhouette and its sibling models, while more successful than the Astro/Safari due in terms of market share, had unconventional "Dustbuster" styling that ultimately limited its appeal and sales.
