We’re going out on a limb and saying no, as this appears to be a 1991 model with a bit over 12K miles and no evidence of sticky fingers, Cheerios or other messy kids’ stuff. The question is why?
If you want an Olds Silhouette, this is the one to get. Will anyone want one badly enough to pay almost $9K? That seems a bit higher than the expected 24- to 25-year residual on a minivan.
The condition of this car supports the mileage claim in every way; so this poor thing has been sitting with minimal use. Again…why? This is our second Olds Silhouette feature. The first was a sighting post and paled in comparison to this low mileage classic.

Here’s the famous Dustbuster nose of the GM U-Body minivan. These are all odd, but the Olds wins for having the most decals of the trio.
Here’s the silhouette of the Silhouette. Yes, the driver sits THAT far from the base of the windscreen.
Rear quarter isn’t too odd or exciting except for the extra side decal noting the model name. It’s always a good sign when you can see two model name decals from one angle. Plus, yes, those stripes continue ’round back.
Dat ass!
Interior is pretty tame and this example is certainly in great shape. Oldsmobile products were often the least cartoonish of GM products in the 80s and 90s.
This doesn’t look like it toted any messy kids. It does have miniblinds, however, which is kick ass. Note the far side seat in the second row – that’s an integrated baby seat! Of course, there’s no door on that side, so the mom was suppose to lift the kid across (?).
In case the front passenger was prone to forgetting the model of the vehicle, is was molded into the switch plate.
The climate controls show a small bit of GM cartoonish bubble shape, but this is nothing like a period Pontiac.
There’s decent cargo space behind the third row.
This van features an internal combustion engine. That’s about how exciting a GM 3.1 V6 ever was. These were available with larger displacement V6s later in the lifecycle.
