- Take a trip back in time with me as we delve into the timeless classic that is the 1991-2005 Buick Park Avenue. With its sleek design, luxurious features, and smooth ride, this car remains a sought-after model even decades later. Join me as I share my love for this iconic vehicle and take a closer look at its enduring appeal.
Travel with me to the early 1990s as we explore Buick's flagship luxury car of this time period.
Fantastic cars. They still make for good used cars with low miles because usually older folks and professionals bought and maintained them.
Couldn't agree more and a rate sight these days, especially if you live in a cold climate with metal eating salt on the road.... but that makes it even more cool when you see one in good condition.
Absolutely a classic....
Definitely!
Love these cars. Hard to beat reliability-wise with the legendary 3800. I had a '90 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight, which was the cousin to this car's predecessor, the Buick Electra (which included a top trim called the Park Avenue, which led to Buick killing the Electra name with the debut of this car in 1991). Loved my Olds with the LN3 3800, super reliable, super roomy and comfortable, and was pretty efficient on gas, i could get 30mpg on long highway runs. If you need a good reliable, cheap to operate car in todays world, you can go wrong with one of these.
I couldn't agree more! My dad had 3 Bonnevilles with the 3800 and the supercharged version too. I currently have a late 90s Grand Prix with the supercharged version. Great engine! And contrary to popular belief today I still like superchargers far more than turbo charged cars. Less parts, more reliable and who doesn't like that supercharger whine?
Cool.
Had a 2000 Park Ave in black fully loaded. I bought it in 2002 with about 30k miles in Socal. I was 21, I added the Buick ventiports and dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers and a drop in K&N lol. I sold it in 2010 with 130k miles and had a rod knock. The trans was on the way out. A guy bought it off me for 2k. I took it and ran, lol.
Ya the transmission could be a weak spot on the 3800's, especially if it was a supercharged version. There was a club sponsor (go figure lol) to a Pontiac Grand Prix club I used to be part of. He would rebuild the tranny and put in heavy duty parts to withstand the supercharger better, especially for the guys that put on the smaller pulley, for the extra horsepower.
@Beyondthelensproductions It wasn't worth doing all that to. It was always high to have serviced at the dealer most of the time that's where I would take it in Socal.
I still have my 67 Special Deluxe bought new by my great grandparents. That also has been for service at the Buick dealer. Simpson is a good place never had problems with the service.
That’s amazing!
@Beyondthelensproductions They were in Downey, CA, and moved in the early 2000s to Buena Park CA. It was nice when they were in Downey. I went to Downey High across the street.
I have a 1995 Buick Park Ave. Only 140k mile. The 3800 V6 is a tank of an engine. GMs finest hour. I'm going to keep it restored. Needs some minor paint work. We'll start seeing these on classic car auctions and bring a trailer. Thanks for the video!
Yes that is a great engine for sure! I've got one in my Grand Prix. The cars from the 90s are getting more and more rare for sure because mine gets a lot of looks and had turns now.
Nice work,the dash panel in burgundy you were showing was a nintey,and older LeSabre/Electra style,in my uneeded opinion,the 91,and 92 Park Ave,and LeSabre was a much nice looking instrument panel.
Thanks for the nice work.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for the positive feedback.
These were beautiful!
Agreed!
i daily a 95. Low miles, cheap, best car ive ever owned
Do you still have it now?
@@Beyondthelensproductions Yes, drove it every day this week
@@xsonz2 Very nice! Solid cars.
I have my mother's 1991 Park Avenue - her last car.
The car was built for the owner of Virginia's oldest dealer - Perry Buick in Norfolk, who died 2 months after the car arrived and Mama was next in line.
It is equipped with everything available for Buick and Cadillac and everything functions as designed, including the Dynaride, dual climate control,
dual 6-way seats, full leather interior, twilight sentinal, etc., etc., etc. Quiet, luxurious and economical. What more could anyone need?
You're a lucky guy to have one, especially in that condition!
It has been maintained with the proverbial 'open checkbook'.@@Beyondthelensproductions
Lexus LS400 was really 10 years ahead of these in 1991, how innovative US automakers lost the ball
They might have had better gas mileage than the RWD Buicks but they never matched the ride.
Rear wheel drive is always better.
IMO these FWD Buicks ride better than the RWD 1977-1996 Buicks, due to the independent rear suspension and generally softer suspension tuning. Being FWD, however, they don't handle as well.
@@melvinharris7859 It’s individual preference of course. I drove many of both having Buicks at work. For me the 70’s and early 80’s were an absolute pleasure to drive.
@@curtcollett2893 I agree, the 77-96 RWD B-Body and C-Body GM cars are nice driving vehicles, with good handling, a nice ride, and pretty tight steering for what they were.
I agree.. performance wise RWD is always better but there's a lot to be said about FWD too.
No way…. no!
Odd name for a car
