- This old car has out lived it's expiration date. I would have figured all these cars would have been crushed by now. I almost feel sorry for these old 80's econo cars, not many ppl want to keep these cars going anymore.
My first car was an 85 Somerset. I have great memories of that car
Same here, dude! Got it around 1996. Had this cool digital eq up on a little pedestal in front of the stereo! Head gasket problem took it down in green smoke. Much love for that car.
Me too! It was a white one
I had a Somerset. Loved it!!
My first car I ever had. Blue. And when you went over 85mph, the digital dash would just flash 85
I had a black 85 4 tech engine with red interior,, but I paid 800 dollars it was my first car as well!, ha ha
Back in 1991 dad came home with a almost new shiny red buick somerset 1985 and we all went to the beach, i was so happy.
I owned one of these and drove it from NJ to CA when I migrated to the west back in '88. It was a great car! It was the beginning of Buick's "down-size" error due to the oil crises of that era. Fun car!
This was my first brand new car I bought. It was a 1985 Somerset Regal, two door, two tone car, Tan and goldish brown. I loved everything about that car and the digital dash was awesome. I had that car for six years and never had one problem with it. Only reason I got rid of it was that I had gotten married and had a baby. It sucked putting a car seat in. We in turn bought a 1990 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency, which was another excellent car.
I had one and loved it.
My mom owned this car. Fast and fun.
My aunt had one. I loved that car.
Grand Am,that's the body style your thinking of,these looked like a refined grand am
It was the first car I ever bought with my own hard earned money 😥🙁☹️😯☹️🙁😥
I had an 89. Same as the Old's Cutlass Calais and the Pontiac version was the Gran Am
I had one, a 1985 that I owned from about 1988-1991. Very nice car, blue with blue interior, 2.5 Tech 4 motor. The radio was a proprietary unit made just for the car, and mounted on top of the pod in the center, with a separate tape deck, which made it very hard to put in an aftermarket unit. The roof was rusting out above the windshield, so I traded it in on a 1988 Century with a 3.8!
I had one same color. Minr hazd electric door locks. Power windows cruse control bose factory stereo .drove and road like a cadilac. It was a great car. Big enough yet small enough if that makes sence. Great fuel milage plenty of power. And i thought it had great looks.the whells and tires on the one in the video really detract from the cars looks. Anyway is One of my favorite daily drivers i ever owned. I still think about her today....GREAT CAR
My mom owed this car in blue with a 5 speed transmission. Nice lil car
When I got out the US Marine Corps in 1993, I purchased a used 1981 Buick Somerset from a Corporal. I drove it home from Camp Lejeune North Carolina....all the way to my home state Detroit Michigan. Man I sure miss that little car.😥🙁☹️😯☹️🙁😥
That thing is super rare and all in tact! I would have kept it around just for nostalgia also the Somerset is same thing as the Oldsmobile Calais and Pontiac Grand Am
bro what a memories same is my first car same everything
way back in the day I was married and in 1987 my wife and I bought a 85 somerset!! loved it, had 40,000 miles on it, all power, sunroof etc, digital dash was cool, but after warranty the dash went out several times!! otherwise car was great!! the somerset and grand am shared the same platform!
Bought one brand new same color had a sunroof Kept it for 10 years Sold it 400 hundred bucks
It was a good looking car back in the day. I remember my uncle renting one which had a V6 and pretty snappy low-end acceleration...he also told me the speedo flashed '85' when he passed someone on a 2-lane road.
My dad had the exact same 85 somerset color and all with a five speed manual four-cylinder iron Duke. Lasted about 50,000 miles and then completely fell apart. Was a nice car at first
Had one.
It had a digital dashboard.
Super sweet. I'd turn it KMH.
FYI it flashes at 88 MPH or 144 KMH.
I still use that as my metric conversation.
That was also a base model.
Somebody knows where can i find one glass for the door side of the chaufer ? Is the same car
My mom had a blue one from 90 till 98
My cousin Harolds first whip!😂
These were some cool cars in the 80s think was a stylish little car like a spaceship. It was actually base off Grand AM and Olds Calais around that time.
I have on 1985 Buick regal somerset 4 cylinder 3 speed 86k miles all original besides I put in a better stereo system and added cup holders
That old Randy Travis CD is probably worth more than the car.
Recently found one of these in great condition at a local garage sale. Got it for 750 bucks, when I get everything ready to roll i'll be sure to take some good pictures and video of the inside and outside of it. Not much to be seen of these on the internet!
85 Somerset was the first car I ever bought. Not a great car, but great in what it meant to me.
Same as Pontiac Grand Am of the same time
that was my second car. sucked! ignition module would go out random and leave you stranded. It was based off the buick skylark. Also the paint peeled off really bad from the primer all over the car
Another throwaway GM, unlike say a Toyota AE86 or LandCruiser
I owned a 1987 Buick Somerset T type missed that car with I can find other one that is running ,I can say that vehicle was plaged with issues like the Grand Am from that era .
My mom had one it was orangish with white top
A two door Skylark.
The reason you have not seen one is planned obsolescence, GM really succeeded in making every part on that car fail out of warranty. The head gasket would make a milkshake out of the engine the day the warranty ran out. Toyota received millions of loyal GM customers by the 90's !
Based off the A Body Celebrity cars
N cars were designed from scratch, the olds Calais was GM's first 100% computer designed car
Cheap parts it's a replica of a 1980s Pontiac Gran am , Buick skylark replacement
My mother had a green one. It was an 87. It was junk.
I wouldn't crush that car, it's pretty rare, I bet the engine still runs.
in 85, drivers ED
I had this same car and it was a piece of junk! Paid 18k for it new; never again!
A rebadged Skylark, since they weren't selling under that name. These cars unfortunately were built on one of GM's worst car lines, using two of GM's worst engines of the time. The 2.5L was notorious from throwing rods and causing fires (giving the Fire-o its well-deserved reputation), and the 3.0L V6 was no better. GM simply tried to reinvent the wheel far too much in the 80s, and it came back to bite them in a big way. By the time they realized their mistakes, they barely got back to making good cars again before corporate bigwigs canned their best engineers to start fresh with Johnny and Jenny Jackass.
Who were, of course, barely out of engineering school and still apparently in their drug-induced stupors from college, from the BS designs they've been putting out in recent years. My last GM product was a Malibu. Traded for a Toyota within nine months and don't plan to own another late-model Big Three product as long as they put profits before consumers by sacrificing quality and common sense. Even their dealers are morons.
