Buick Electra Park Avenue (Slideshow..with MUSIC!!)

a revised slideshow , an improvement on me prvious slideshow i made.

the good on this car:
low miles, er, kilometres (87,000km)
body is NICE
paint is pretty decent for its age and sitting outside most of its life
interior is fabulus
FULLY LOADED
relliable gm 3.8L V6

the bad...
fuel lines are leaky
botton of the car is ok and intact but their is rust in the normal places
break lines...well the brake fluid was all gone so im asuming while it sat for 5 years it leaked out or osmething i dunno
transmisison lines would proably be pretty bad
vinyl roof is cracked and makes the car look like garbage
stupid mouse made a nest and pissed inside the glove box and not to sure how to get rid of the smell, though smell only comes out when u open it
needs a new battery for it to do run...still workong on getting one
oil is ok for now but should be changed eventually
all fluids should be changed when lines are repaired or replaced and when its roadworthy
their are some paint chipping off
and uh...yee i think most of everything lol

Nice car . I own a 1987 park avenue . I loved that car the seats wear the best seats I sat on . Better then my 1996 volvo wagon . The seats are hard in them . But the seats in the buick was soft . Im looking for a park avenue right now under 2000.00 dollars with cloth red seats like this one .Nice car I also had the lights with non seal beam type .

Hope the car got the TLC it needed since you uploaded the video.

It really deserves it. Fully loaded indeed - electronic climate control at a time when most cars in the UK didn't even have A/C as an option, and car cassette/radio and heater were extras.

Looking at it one way, the interior is ridiculous and vulgar, but with the passage of time, I think it can be now appreciated for its historic value.

It really is so pimp though!

@vcolinc hey, thanks for the comment!

i thought the interior was the best part! LOL the plush foamy seats, u never see that anymore. they were literally floating couches on wheels.

climate control etc were pretty common in luxury cars from GM.

thanks for watching man! im still working on this car.., hopefully be making a starting video this spring

subscrube if yo like :)

i personally think the buick park ave were the best downsized looking cars, not because i have one its just, it all worked together.the downsizedcadillacs were nice but something about the exterior im not a huge fan of lol,though the interiors of them were awesome.

the olds98 im not much of a fan of, it just didnt seem right but then again its my opinion,i like how buick made the park aves completly new and how it combined modern tech. with classic big body styles and interior.

@chrisgreen67

haha yeah, my dad got this car. it must have been nice to some people , considering its a full redesign, a brand new fuel injected engine system and sleek design, the park avenues were definately seemed high tech to someone at the time i would think, though i do still kinda wis h my dad got the 84 big body park avenue sometimes, though considering the gas prices these days, the 3.8 is good enough lol.

[chrisgreen67]

@randomrazr I know they were a big letdown for a lot of people from the '84 rear-drivers, but I like them. The Cadillac and Olds 98 are great, but the Electra/Park Ave. are my favorites. Also like the LeSabre 2-door and T-Type.

Nice car. I love these "C-bodies", they're very underappreciated. Thanks for sharing it.
