My son was at the wrecking yard yesterday, and came across a 97 Olds Cutlas 4 Door. He thinks the only parts that will fit my 94 Vert will be the door mirrors. I need to find out, will these fit my car .

Any first gen Wbody mirror will swap. The mirror just pops out, and snaps back in. As far as the housing goes, it might be different. Power mirrors could be different that manual mirrors, but I doubt that

Jays info trumps me, and everyone for that matter. I was typing when he posted. Many W Bodies had a style change in 97

 

The 1st gen W body was built until 1997 but the Pontiac and Buick version had their 2nd generation start in 1996 for MY year 1997 (meaning that 2nd gen W's were available in fall 1996). 

 

The Cutlass Supreme was made for one more model year (1997) because the Intrigue was not ready for production yet. This is why a Grand Prix, Century and Regal have their body styles start in 1997 but there's no 1997 Intrigues. Only 98. 

 

so are there any changes to the previous years w body cars or would lumina an regal mirrors fit too

 

1988- 1996 Grand Prix

1988- 1997 Cutass Supreme

1988- 1996 Regal

1990- 1994 Lumina.

 

These cars are interchangeable 100% even though certain parts are car specific (window switches for example). 

 

SOME things will interchange with the 1995-2001 Lumina and 1995-1999 Monte Carlo. Certain things are carryovers from the 1988 platform, others were changed in 1995 to create a hybrid platform (we call it W 1.5). 

 

1997-2003 Grand Prix

1997-2004 Regal and Century

1998-2002 Intrigue

2000-2005 Impala and Monte Carlo

 

These are considered 2nd gen W bodies and most parts interchange. Cars still had unique points but most mechanical stuff interchanges.

The Regal second gen started in 1997, you wrote it was 96 but the "Graph" shows it correctly so I know that was a typo. There was a 1.5 Gen there with the Lumina and/or MC but that's all I know so it gets a bit more complicated.

As far as I know the 2ND gens aren't 97 1/2. Same way my 89 regal was built in September 1988. It's a 1989 model year but built in 1988. That's why I said you should have been able to get em in fall of 96. That makes em my97. Same way 2009 built Camaros are MY2010.

 

Pretty sure someone will chime in and add on but from what I remember, on the 1.5s, the rear monoleaf is gone, replaced by springs... the wipers no longer clean center out... the interior and door panels don't swap (that I know of), antenna is different, front brakes are slightly different
