    It's legit, and hilarious. Cops don't seem to be able to perceive that I'm actually speeding, it's like an optical illusion.

      It is what people want or else they'd be building cars like this. You're not living in this planet apparently. In fact, people don't even want cars anymore. SUVs and crossovers is where the money is at. It's al about sales. Soft luxury cars do not sell. If people wanted fins, they'd put fins on cars. If people wanted Buick like this they'd sell them. It's a market. It's about money. For whatever reason people stopped wanting cars like this almost two decades ago. Don't you understand that? Companies don't build whatever they want they build what sells and moves off the lot

    Hey Hoovie I can relate how you love that Buick, I’ve had a 95 Buick Riviera for the past 13 years, same engine set up,3.8 supercharged, and I plan on keeping it for a Loooong time!! BTW I’ve almost got 200k on the engine and still running good, bought it with around 80k. Love the Buicks!!!

    I loved the video and have always loved the way the Park Avenue looked like and sounded like. A Park Avenue sounds prestigious. A Titan of Industry would park his two-tone in front of his Mansion (circular drive drive of course) whilst his neighbours (neighbors for the US of A) drove ‘generic’ Town Cars or Devilles (or is that De Villes). Thanks for the video. Quite the (often overlooked) Iconic 90’s Luxury car and you gotta love those Whitewalls.

    I am a 61 year old great grandpa. My former father-in-law hooked my daughter up with a 95 Buick Park Avenue. The water pump failed and being incapable of having anything repaired my daughter just was going to scrap the car.
    Oh no I say. Dont do that. I'll fix it. Well she says "you can have it". 🤔 "REALLY?" says I.
    She signed over the title and I fixed the car. A water pump and a battery. That's all it took.
    I f***in love this car. 87,900 miles. Rides and drives beautifully. A free car is always good. This one is best ever.

    People ask me all the time for used car advice around the 2k range and I always try to point them to one of these (the ultra or the regular version) and various other American luxury cars of that era. Those "grandpa cars" are tons of car for the money. Of course they hardly ever listen to me and instead end up with overpriced, ragged out Civics or Accords (around here people want way too much for a Civic with 190k and.a mismatches fender) but I do try.

      Every newly-divorced woman around our way seems to buy a Subaru Forester, b/c they've been told the 4WD will "never leave them stranded somewhere (implied: without a man to bail them out)." They AREN'T told that those cars give worse fuel mileage AND are expensive to repair. EVERY such woman has a Forester, it's uncanny. It's apparently some kind of law; the used-car salesmen see them coming.
