My Great Uncle Emil, who was a Buick-Oldsmobile man, was the first to take delivery of the all new for 75 Park Avenue. His car was very early production, August of 74. The first few examples were called the "Park Avenue Deluxe" executive editions, only a handful built which his car was, his car had airbags and a dealer installed telephone, at just a tick over 10,000 fully loaded, nothing was left out, it cost a little more than a new Sedan DeVille, Lincoln or a 98 Regency. The badge on the dash said, Park Avenue Deluxe. The Deluxe edition actually had velour on the dashboard which the regular Park Avenue did not have. Have never seen another Deluxe edition as it was too expensive, nobody wanted to pay Cadillac money for a Buick but what an amazing machine.
Thanks for sharing the memories and thanks for watching. The Park Avenue Deluxe was indeed very rare. I've never even personally seen one in my lifetime. Cheers
My dad had the ‘76 Park Avenue Limited…I had to take my road test for my drivers license in that car in February in Detroit in two feet of snow…I was terrified in that barge even though I practiced for months in it…I aced my test and was happy even though he rarely let me drive it
How blessed you are to have these two fine automobiles. Thank you for showing the option comparison I learned a little automobile more history today. Thank you. I’m a Mopar guy but love all “American” automobiles.
I.really enjoy seeing reviews of the luxury cars from the mid 60s to the mid 70s. The last of the true full sized American luxury car models. Thanks for the memories
Thank you for the kind words I'm glad you enjoyed watching. There are several other reviews on more Buicks on my channel as well I hope you will enjoy those just as much
Thanks for sharing! Grandpa sold Buicks for many years. He always drove the top of the line! Those 4 note horns were unique to Buicks and Cadillacs. Very distinctive! The other feature I won't forget is the needle setting on the speedometer. When your speed exceeded the setting, it would make a buzzing alert sound. Thanks again for the video.
Yeah the speed alert feature. My brother used to always speed when my mom slept during trips so she’ll set it so it’ll go off so she’ll wake up to catch him speeding 😂
I would be hard-pressed to have a favorite but my white one was my first one and she'll always be my first one and so I guess I really love her the most
My G-pa retired from a Chevy, Buick Cadillac dealership in the early nineties after almost 40 years of selling these beautiful vehicles... My G-ma always said "we're a Buick family, not a Cadillac family..." I too love these old Buicks...! My parents marriage car was a 70 GS Skylark...! I wish he would've keep some of his old hotrod Chevys and Buicks from back then...we'd be in great shape if he did, but who knew they'd be priceless today...! They were just cars back then, every the years, trade it in and get a new one was the attitude about them... Anyway, Buicks are great, thanks for sharing...! Keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...
I worked at a Buick dealership as the 76 model year ended and the 77's started arriving. It was so sad to lose these magnificent cars as the 77 models just weren't up to these standards. The turn signal chime on a 76 is beautiful. Our last Park Avenue was a pretty yellow and I remember one lady being so disappointed that the only one left was not a color she liked (she bought it anyway!). We eventually got used to the downsized Buicks, but something definitely was missing. At least we had the Regals which weren't downsized for another year The 350 was very nice in that car too.
Nice Lead Sleds! I had a '73 Centurion rag top with the 350/4 barrel. Ran really smooth too but I thought it could have used a 455. But alas, it rusted out on me, like all rag tops seem to do....
Our Danish Royal Family couldn't find a replacement for their 1973 Centurion convertible they liked, why they have had it completely restored. Always a pleasure to watch.
My mom had a 76 coupe limited with the landau top. Navy blue, white seats In leather or vinyl I can’t remember and white landau top. Loved that car. It did not have the rally wheels though.
The '71 to '76 C-bodies were some of GM's best, and remind me of the '30s Duesenbergs and other classic cars 40 years earlier! Other comparables are the '70-'78 Ford full-sizers and the '74-'78 Royal Monaco/Fury/Imperial/New Yorker. You did a GREAT job here and these are beautiful!
My 1st car at 16 years old was a 1976 buick park Avenue with the red velour interior. Been actively looking to by another, but there aren't many that are original and clean like yours.
Great video! Very informative. I have the 1976 Limited Landau Custom. Judicial black with emberglow leather interior. It was also delivered with a moonroof. Its a dream to drive & nearly every time I do somebody says "What year is your Cadillac?" or "What IS that?"
Thank you and thanks for watching. This channel also features my 3rd Electra Limited in Liberty White as well as my 76 Estate Wagon which was the wagon version of these cars.
@@stangslayerws6 Your dad has good taste, those were beautiful then and beautiful today...just not as fancy as the Park Avenue or the 98 Regency of the same years.
Drool worthy cars! I went through high school in a '73 Limited and my first car purchase was a '75 225 in beige with a white vinyl top. I absolutely LOVE these cars. They were well made, stylish and comfortable to drive.Thank you for sharing your beautiful fleet. Your video made my day!
I love the Fleetwoods. They were actually .1" longer than Electras. Nonetheless, these Electras were the longest 4dr hardtops that GM ever produced in its history. Even longer than the Devilles. Thanks for sure in your memory and thanks for watching
Wow, I love this car back in the day my friends, father had a coop, white with blue pinstripes and white interior and a moonroof man that was a beautiful machine. I never forgot that car.💕💯😌
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching. If you explore my channel you will see that I actually own four of these 76 Buicks and all of them are showcased throughout the channel
You've _GOT_ to be proud, absolutely impeccable!! How many miles on the 3? You said the 350 is the smoothest, but which motor has the best acceleration?
Greeting from Netherlands, Europa ! I own a oldsmobile 98 from 1970 , model 1969 maybe . It is a pilared sedan with LS package , 455 and 400 hydromatic . 27000 miles . Buy it in usa unseen 😮
My great uncle left me his 76 Limited 4 door. He pampered it when I took it over it was sitting at 33k original miles. Now sitting at 34k I only really bring it out in summer.
If you ever want to sell the 455 black/black one,I would love to buy it from you. I imagine that alot of people ask you that. Than you for shooting this video and sharing it.
We had a 76 Limited. Remember the Limited didn't put Electra badging anywhere on the car. Ours had the 455. Black in black on black. Huge trunk. 😮 1:17
@stangslayerws6 It was. It had the Buick Chrome wheels. AM/FM. Leather. Climate Control. It met it's end with a train in OKC, Oklahoma. My brother didn't see or hear it. Hit the left rear quarter panel. My parents got a blue 77 Coupe De Ville with the settlement.
Thanks. Tomorrow I will be doing a comparison video between my white 1976 Electra and my 1976 Buick Estate Wagon highlighting the difference between the two cars cargo carrying capacities
Your accent is intriguing. Would you say that is a typical Tennessee accent? It's distinctive, almost like you have some Louisiana Bayou or French Quarter history.
Thanks for watching! As for the vocal analysis, I was born and raised all my life in Tennessee. Nonetheless my mother and her entire family were from Woodstock Vermont. So maybe it's a mix of Tennessee hick and those damn Yankees 😅
Would be interesting to see if the gas mileage would improve over the 455. Sometimes, the smaller engine would get fewer miles to the gallon if it had to struggle to keep up with the weight and size of the car.
The 350 car gets 16mpg consistently. Doesn't seem like much until you consider my 455s average 9 to 11 MPG. So the 350 gets WAY better mileage by comparison
I really suprize to hear what park anvnue did not come with I Rather have the Limted Buick 225 We used call them Duce & Quater they Use to be my Dream Car until 85 . Then I left and went Ford Been there ever since
The one on the left looks like it has thicker chrome on the bottom of the car front to the back and the one on the right looks thinner smaller from the to the bottom rear. I like the chrome light on the fender the that tells you the lights are on and on my 1978 Buick limited the inside top rear window, it tells me if my lights working I forgot what you call it the name of it. I have a 1978 I love 2 door but I love to trade it for a 74, 75, or 76 2 door but my 1978 needs some work a lot of work still runs
Thanks for watching. Both cars have the same size chrome lower body molding but that was indeed optional as well. Like yours, both of these cars have the light monitor option on the front fenders as well as the interior roof mounted rear light monitors
In 1976 both came standard with the Buick 455. However, due to a strike, Buick offered the Buick 350 as a $159 credit delete option for the 455. Only 2000 of those were built. My Limited is one of them. It's the smoothest engine I have ever owned
Thanks for watching. The Park Avenue is most definitely a fan favorite of my Buick collection. I knew they existed but had never seen a 1976 Park Avenue in person until I bought this one in Chicago a couple years ago
@@christopherwilkins7607 Well that's good then because I have personally restored 3 of these cars now and know everything there is to know except why Buick deleted the under hood cowl stabilizer bars on the 75 and 76 Electra but kept them on Riviera, Estate Wagon and Lesabre. Maybe you can enlighten me with your wealth of Buick knowledge.
In L8 '75, I got da Landau coupe fully equipped, but, with da Astroroof. U could NOT get it on any 4dr. Plus, da coupe didn't rattle in comparison to da 4dr. My '76 was Pewter color maroon triple stripe & interior. I got da speed alert buzzer, instead of cruise control, & manual A/C instead auto, tilt steering, Limited slip rear, but for foul weather. Gr8 highway traveler, enuff room for 6 & their luggage, too. Da 455 was 1 of da highest h.p. of GMs big block. More so dan Caddy 500. 205 vs 190. I penny pinched my way to a total of $8659. Den, I replaced da wide White walls Uniroyals (which Stunk) with VOGUE LR70-15 tires. I ❤dat deuce mo' dan my girlfriends. It was for 76 da longest car 233.5" other dan da Caddy Brougham. I kept it til 78, got me a Linc Mark V with 460 4v. Final year. But, da deuce felt a much better handler. AWESOME MASTERPIECES, real landyachts. Imagine em with todays Technology. Better dan any SUV. Njoy em, pal, I know I did.❤
Thanks for the kind words. I personally looked for a coupe for several years but ultimately decided that I preferred having a hard top over having two doors
Beautiful. How lucky to have them both!
You are so kind. Thanks

65K on the Limiteds. 72K on the Park Ave. 68K on the Estate Wagon

I wish GM still made car's like that with the size and the V8 455 engines with rear wheel drive.
I agree wholeheartedly. But as a child of the seventies this is a age gone by. We will never see a period in automotive History like this again
I just Love them both ❤
Like to see a video on the white car in the garage.
It's posted several times on my channel as well. It actually was my first 76 Electra and holds a very near and dear spot in my heart.

Yes in the 70s options on vehicles were à la carte across the lineup.
The one on the left looks like it has thicker chrome on the bottom of the car front to the back and the one on the right looks thinner smaller from the to the bottom rear. I like the chrome light on the fender the that tells you the lights are on and on my 1978 Buick limited the inside top rear window, it tells me if my lights working I forgot what you call it the name of it.

I don't remember the 1976 Buick Park Avenue having that steering wheel though. That looks like a Cadillac steering wheel.

Wow you have 3 Buick's that is awesome. Those are really beautiful cars. Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you very much. I actually have four 76 Buicks. They are all on my channel both together and individually
9:41 the steering wheels are not the same.
That's because the Park Avenue has the tilt telescoping option and The Limited does not
Basically, there is no difference in the limited and Park Avenue. The motors are the same now that makes a difference.😮
In 1976 both came standard with the Buick 455. However, due to a strike, Buick offered the Buick 350 as a $159 credit delete option for the 455. Only 2000 of those were built. My Limited is one of them. It's the smoothest engine I have ever owned
