My Winter whip cleaned up after one long season..

98 Park Ave had a enough salt and sand inside to start my own playground. Exterior was hard to tell what the oem color was. This car got me through one of the toughest winters I have ever seen around these parts especially the end of Dec. and all of Jan. I just got the oil changed and everything inspected and she is in GREAT shape and I should be able to have her service for years to come.








Plenty of room for me..







Plenty of room for you and your significant other to hold hands



Plenty of room if you hit a deer and need to haul away the body.

You should hear the noise it makes when the traction control kicks in. Sort of like a wounded horse.

No, FWD.
Don't forget it's also a great ride for those times you need to travel into the city or park in places you wouldn't want to bring the Beemer. Use it as a truck at the home improvement stores. All in all a great addition to the stable.

I remember when you bought that. A friend has a similar one. He's dreading the day when it finally dies.

if you live in a place like that, a winter beater is a great thing to have. my friend in detroit bought a ten year old land rover for 3k this year and it saved his butt many times.

Clean Park Ave!!!!!!!! I used to have a 86 Park Ave landau top with a sunroof. I can remember nothing but good times I had in that car when I was in high school. The seats are 10x more comfy than any of my previous Lexus/Acura. Buick is really stepping up there game, The new Regal ,and Lucerne are some real lookers.

Thanks pal. The seats are comfy as hell and the car rides like a couch in my living room on that air suspension. It's the polar opposite of my weekend garage queen.

The new buicks are very sharp cars.

I'm sick and depressed about this. My mechanic said he could put in a new motor installed for about $1700 but he advised against it. I'm either gonna scrap her in Brockton or sell her to a mechanic that will put in a motor on the side for himself.
Either way she's dead to me.
