Time Warp- Buick -showroom cira 1986

Anyone actually remember going to a Buick dealer , seeing how and where the GN was placed/ sold?
My experience with Buick dealers was limited back in the day. My girlfriend had a 74 Buick Opel. I brought it in for service. They had one mechanic that only worked on Opels, when he retired , that was that. The salesmen were older than there customers , chain smoked , and favored Riveras, w/ with a 455 and long option list.

I remember standing between two T's in 86-87 on the floor. Gold one and a silver one. There were 3 or 4 GN's in the lot and a WH1. Don Snell Buick in Dallas. I went there a lot in 89-90 with my WH1 because they keep a lot of parts for these cars...well into the 90's. They had a stage catalog at the parts counter!

I harassed a few salesmen back in the day, got the literature to show for it, and a now rusty WE4 I bought new back then.

Pricing Limiteds was fun with all the options, show stopper was price, and no blacked out cornering lamps.

My final salesman was young, now old, and had a GSX in yellow.

The Regal Turbo Sports Coupe in the picture could pass for the 78 I owned many years ago. I harassed many a Buick salesman from 84-87.

February 1986...... small mom & pop dealership with a 6 car showroom in Bordentown, NJ.

In the showroom was an '86 GN hardtop and a beautiful Black '86 T-Type with Red interior (buckets/console). It looked sweet with the chrome bumpers. I haven't a clue what the other cars were because they were totally insignificant, Skyhawk or Century perhaps. I bought the GN t-top car they had sitting outside in the lot and a highschool pal's mom bought the T-Type.

I scored the "big" Buick Book (deluxe brochure) and still have it to this day. The GN, nope.

I do still have the window sticker, fancy cardboard Buick front plate and the dealer badge.
