In many cases, the doorhandles were painted to match the car, as opposed to the all-black handles seen here.They mostly were found on sportier editions,like the Sunbird GT or Skyhawk T-type. It looks more like a Buick blue to me, but Sunbird or Firenza are possibilities too. I don't recall Cavaliers having such a pronounced chrome trim strip near the top of the body.

Sunbird or Firenza, most likely the former. -- Last edit: 2010-03-07 22:02:45
