What's an Apollo? Is that a compact or a subcompact or what? And what are it's other GM sister models (Chevy Pontiac, Olds, etc...)?

This car is a 1978 Buick Skylark.

The Apollo was a small, entry-level Buick on the GM X Platform, and was only made from 1973-75. It was similar to the Chevrolet Nova, Oldsmobile Omega, and Pontiac Ventura of the same time period.

the Apollo was the predecessor to the Skylark, they look almost identical, the Apollo was not on the X platform, cars like the Chev Citation was, X-platform= front wheel drive

Cougar Tim is right, this is a 1978 Buick Skylark and it's also a X body.

The Apollo, the pre-1973 Ventura II, 1973-77 Ventura, 1977-79 Phoenix, pre-1980 Omega, pre-1980 Nova and 1975-79 Skylark were all built on the RWD semi-unitized X platform. In 1980, there was a new generation of X platform that was fully unitized and FWD unlike the former generation.
