@@KenanTurkiye I'm an attack helicopter with a sharp eye. I appreciate the organic styling of the 90's. We haven't had such a big shift in automotive styling since the change from the geometric cars of the 80's to the 90's organic cars. It's good to see the organic cars coming out of their "yesterday's fashion" period and become appreciated again. It's a shame so many have been lost. Except for the 2nd generation S-10. I'm sure there are more of those on the road now than when they were new. It must be the most successful vehicle since the Volkswagon Beetle.
@@jrcars7017 Looks like the EV companies are trying to get an angular lined design back into their line up, but I haven't seen them succeed to such an extend that made me say ''ah yes, that is nice''. Have a great flight attack helicopter, lol.
@@KenanTurkiye I appreciate Tesla's attempt to do something different with the Cybertruck. I feel like the front end styling could be stronger, but I believe it will be a vehicle people appreciate thirty years from now. It's the only thing they make which isn't generic and forgettable.
You usually see this mini van and let's face it ALL minivans of this era just dogged out to hell and back. Really nice to see a super clean example like this, I really like it as well as the Previa.
We needed a van to take our two German Shepards to obedience class and shows. One was 93 lbs, the other 120. We needed remote doors because we had leashes and chairs in our hands. We also liked that individual seats could be removed. The Silhouette was the best choice. We loved it if one can love a minivan. Our son named it "Deep Six" because it looked like a submersible. Until I found this channel I forgot how much we liked Deep Six.
My wife and ordered this van in 1995 with the dual integrated car seats and power door. The powered door was the first of its kind. We didn't get the rear air but it still had the fan control for just basic air vents on the windows. They were useless. Also the body is plastic so you will not see rust. This was a great van for us as our kids were growing up. Its demise came when we had a detour and it bottomed out and I think caused an issue with the oil pump. Eventually had the engine rebuilt but was never the same again. The 3800 was an excellent power plant and you needed to buy a used car, this was an engine to look for. My son drove a 97 lesabre and then loved his buick with the 3800 so much upgraded to a newer buick with the 3800 and it served him very well. Great mileage, very reliable, and cheap to fix.
Beautiful Van, my neighbour here in Switzerland had one in the 90s. But it was a Pontiac because it was only sold under this brand in Europe. This things are very rare today. I'm also in the GM FWD Facebook groupe I drive a 94 ParkAve.
I loved Pontiacs version, the Trans Sport. Pontiacs gaudy over the top styling queues like the wide fluted side mouldings just added to the spaceship look. Pontiac even had Patrick Stewart doing the voiceover in the commercials for the Trans Sport early on. For me a white Trans Sport looked the best.
Beautiful looking vehicle. I remember when the Olds Silhouette was first intro'd to the car buying public back in the 1990s. I found it way more attractive to look at than either Chevy's Lumina APV or Pontiac Trans Sport, even though they're all basically the same vehicle with different trim and logo.
One of the only vehicles to have the regular brake lights above the center high mount stop light, or 3rd brake light if you want to be casual. These were sold in Europe rebadged as the Pontiac Trans Sport and did acceptably well. Europeans were more accepting of the futuristic design. Of note, these have plastic body panels like Saturn. GM used to make some incredibly comfortable seats. Soft, thick padding with good quality cloth or leather. You didn't sit on them, you sat in them and sank down a few inches. It's a shame they decided that every seat had to be hard and sporty.
As a kid, I saw a Trans Sport along the road I biked to school every day, and it was like nothing else in the lineup. Being into Star Trek, I always thought it was like a shuttlecraft that just flew off the Enterprise D
I've been seriously thinking about buying a 1995 Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8 V6. The Silhouette, and Lumina APV are cool as well but I just like the styling of the Trans Sport slightly better.
This is my favorite looking dustbuster van and a bucket list vehicle and the 3800 is reliable enough that more of them have survived, which is why they pop up... there are 3 or 4 in my area of toledo... the rear seats were cool as they were individual seats that could fold and be removed much easier than benches from other vans of the era... and that graphics stripe was a standard option on the silhouette... i think it looked too much like the lumina apv so the stripe was added to differentiate them more
Loved the video. Weird story time is that I learned how to drive in a 1998 Dodge Caravan and 1998 Olds 88 back in 2003, so this still feels nostalgic to me.
I remember when GM first rolled these out as the Chevy Lumina APV and the Pontiac Transport. First time I saw one on the road, I thought it was the oddest looking van I ever seen. What got me was the high mounted tail lights which wasn't common at the time.
They were great dependable cars. Had a 93 silhouette. Traded for a 94 Pontiac Grand Am SE transport. Both cars had the 3800 engine. I wish I could buy a car that dependable now.
I quite honestly did not care for this back in the day when they were new but now, how very, very cool to see this. I now appreciate the very good design in a beautiful color!
If your ever get a chance review a early 90s Cutlass Ciera or Buick Century wagon with the 3.3liter V6. Those engines are just smaller versions of the 3.8 V6. Or really any car that has the 3.3 V6. They are good little engines. My 1993 Grand Am has 225,000k on it and it's my daily driver. I believe they stopped using the engine in 1993 and started using the 3.1 which can be a good engine as well if you take care of it but the 3.3 & 3.8 you can't beat them imo.
It’s funny that the silhouette is always the one that gets reviewed. Maybe more of them survived? They definitely sold a lot more lumina APV‘s and trans sports
Man I remember my dad taking me to school in these things. In nyc around 2003 you’d see these all over the place. It’s like there was a bargain sale and the dealers were selling these for 50% off
I loved these from the moment I saw them. It broke my heart to hear people calling them "dustbusters" and hating the styling. I thought they looked like the shuttle Sulu crashed into the back of the Enterprise in Star Trek V. Very cool! It was sad and disappointing to see GM restyle these vans to suit normie driving appliance buyers. Pearls before swine . . .
Grew up in a first gen Silhouette from the early-00s all the way till we got rid of it around 2014. I sort of miss it! This one is in way better shape though, and looks much nicer inside with its tan color and cloth trim, versus ours which was gray with the crappy vinyl (?) seats and plastic trim. Comfy, but ugly. A few anecdotes: We never used the garage door opener holder; it was always clasped to the driver-side sun visor. We also never used most of the other storage compartments. The thing was always in shambles. Door handles broke, the sliding door cable broke, the passenger window never worked, and the external thermometer didn't work. That being said, the drivetrain was dead reliable. This thing is a stickler for how it's jumped though. Jump it wrong and you fry the alternator, which happened to us at least once, and it shut off on the road. The cold up here sure killed batteries too, so it got jumped a lot. Lots of good memories with this one! We put something like 250,000 miles on the thing, and it brought me almost everywhere I went for most of my childhood.
I bought an Oldsmobile Bravada recently, last gen. Very boring car company imo but it’s very comfortable and quite luxurious for it’s time, and fast for what it is too
I have one of these. My mom bought it brand new in 1995 when I was 4. I got it as a graduation gift in 2009. It is still my most reliable vehicle here in 2024. My Chevrolet traverse broke down and this thing is still going.
It's been awhile since I've seen one, but if I remember right the smaller V6 in the vans was a TBI-equipped, iron-head engine. Not a 3.1 MPFI or a 3100 SFI (which were themselves very different from each other).
I thought of getting a Dustbuster for a daily and delivery vehicle. I actually love the look and the 3800 V6 lasts forever. Unfortunately, they are vaporware on the market. Not only can I not find one in decent shape, but I would imagine parts are rough to find.
Nah, I work in an auto parts store. The gm dustbuster vans shared alot of parts with their entire lineup. If you can find parts for a lesabre or a sunbird/grand am/ prix. You will find parts for said dust buster. Now trim parts can be trickier. But keeping a dustbuster mechanically sound is still feaseable......

I went camping in my 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage. I got a Ryobi 18V to 110V inverter to have a regular outlet, and I got a queen air mattress, laid it out, and filled it up, and it fit nicely in the car. I had to fold the back seats, and front seats as flat as they will go, and take the head rests off the front seats. With a few pillows under the extra space under the mattress, it was a quite comfortable night!
It's really funny because the day I watched your Ford Excursion video, I went out that evening to pick up dinner and saw an Excursion pulling into the lot. I actually pictured you saying, "Hey, there's one right now!"
If I were to rank the GM Dustbuster platform minivans it would be: 1 Oldsmobile silouette 2 Chevy lumina van Dead and far away last Pontiac transport/Montana
Sure, you only have 5 seats in this one, but it was a good opportunity to try the versatility and change de rear seats position. For example : saloon, with 2 seats on the rear, last seat folded in the middle as a table. By the way, GM bought patent for these seats from the French minivan : Renault Espace by Matra launched in 1984 : th-cam.com/video/u6s2MngMT3c/w-d-xo.html And the conception was the same : Iron structure with plastic panels.
This sends me back to the time when there were so many badged clones: Olds/Buick/Chevy/Pontiac flavors were so close together, and the minivans, sedans, and coupes matched lol
I find it funny how the center high mount brake light ( third brake light ) is lower that the other brake/taillights. Basically all cars the third brake light is mounted higher that the main ones.
You didn't show us how the rear seats can fold and be removed, or talk about the purple tinted windshield! Nonetheless, he has a beautiful van. I have the pontiac version myself. Absolutely love it!
Great 👍 show ! Just like the station wagons the minivans were over used and towards the end of its life was disposed of. I certainly miss the station wagons and minivans of yesteryears .
My mom used to have one of these some years ago, she got it for like $1000 or something and had it for a few years. I always thought it was an interesting car very old school, it think hers had a 3100. It was in 2 accidents while my mom owned it, although every dent we just popped back out cause its made of so much plastic lmao. After the 3rd time car caught itself on fire though she decided to get rid of it. Good memories. (One thing I liked about it though was that I could play old Eazy E cassettes I found)
The plastic enduraflex body panels were actually designed so that small impacts either wouldn't dent or they can be popped out. That's one of their coolest features
Time has been good to a lotta 20th century vehicles. That and the fact that today's automobiles are overrated overpriced junk that no Backyard Gearhead can work on.
This very van is in the process of a 3500 mile cross country road trip. We’ll find out tonight if it successfully makes it back home 😂
Godspeed!
I hope that check engine light was taken care of first!
@@danmccarthy4700 nope, drove it cross country like that 😂
Update: Trip has completed and it made it back home with no issue. 3,470 miles total!

I remeber seeing these everywhere. I love this thing. I wish I could go buy one now.
Even though those older engines didn't have much horsepower, they had good mid range torque which made them very good for daily driving.
