Been reading the various posts lots of unusual ones come to surface. Here are some of my comments in no particular order.
The Reatta....Buick pinned high hopes on that car.....packed alot of useless technology into it.
Back when I was selling turbo cars I did buy a one owner one...red of course which was the most popular color. Dash is very costly to fix. Had some sort of touch screen dash even to work the radio.
The 2 plus 2 Grand Prix someone mentioned was the sister car to the Monte Carlo version.
Back when I was selling turbo regals I had at least two instances where owners wanted to trade the Monte Carlo 2 plus 2 version or whatever it was called towards a turbo regal. I declined.
GM took a slow car added more weight and made it slower.....
The connection with Yugo and GM...Jays GN who many of you know worked at a GM dealership sold caddies....they had a deal back in the day buy a Caddy get a Yugo free. That is the only connection I am aware of perhaps other dealers did likewise.
I mention the Yugo from time to time in my talks....came out I think in 1986. weird thing is those cars the speedo read higher than the turbo buick which only read to 85 mph.....
I used to have some sales literature on the Yugo....interesting how they promoted their convertible Yugo...they claimed the top was easier and quicker to work than the Porsche.
Most of us realize no potential Porsche owner would even give the Yugo a glance in the real world!!!!!
The VR Celebritys.....they are rare especially the wagons been years since I have seen any of them.
I did see fairly frequently one of those all wheel drive Eagles someone posted earlier except its the station wagon version. Also near me a guy has one of those Dodge Rampage wagons plus an extra one for parts...they seem like a prime candidate for a V8....
Surprised with everyones knowledge of Buicks no one mentioned the LeSabre T Types 1987-1989 made in just 4 colors with leather being an optional interior....quick name the 4 colors????
Another one and I have owned two of these actually ASC was involved with....member the Olds Turing sedans? Think they were like 1989 models.... again only in a few colors. I had a silver one and a burgundy one....I member in the door jamb they had an ASC sticker. May even be similar to the ASC sticker they put in the GNX? Can't member though. These cars probably had every available option.
