All Superior models were powered by a 171 cu in (2.8 L) 4-cylinder engine, 26 hp @ 2000 rpm, and shared the 103 in (2,616.2 mm) wheelbase. The cheapest complete model, which was the Superior Roadster, cost $510 in 1926, while the range-topping model, the Superior Sedan, sold for $825. It was also possible to buy a chassis; the Commercial chassis cost $425, while the Express Truck chassis cost $525.

GM Platform sharing

This chassis was shared with other GM products at the time, including Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland and GMC products, introducing the "A-body", "B-body" and "C-body". This policy of sharing mechanicals across multiple brand led to the General Motors Companion Make Program in the 1920s. Starting with leadership under Mr. Sloan, GM instituted visual styling changes for each yearly series.

gollark: I had accidentally planned for this by having a small self-sufficient base in the End with teleporters and stuff, and a spatial IO system so that in an emergency I could just hit a button to save most of my stored resources.
gollark: There were backups, of course, but it was quite funny.
gollark: One time someone on a server I was on accidentally blew up all of spawn with one due to a technical error in the computers controlling the reactor.
gollark: Also, the explosion is just silly.
gollark: The reactor is kind of cool but also does the DE thing of "haha big number good".
