I worked at a Chevrolet/Buick dealership as a mechanic back in the eighties. One of the things a tech was tasked to do was new car preps. Which of course included Corvettes and back then, the Grand National. I much preferred the Buick over the Corvette. Much more comfortable to drive, and the Grand National was no slouch compared to the Corvette. I figured I'd own one some day but never have.

I had a 1985 Buick Park Avenue for awhile - it was absolutely bulletproof. Always started, always ran smooth, never needed anything beyond regular oil changes. The upholstery and foam roof disintegrated , and all the plastic bits and electric window switches, etc., eventually broke, but the engine ran as good the day I sold it as when my dad gave it to me (and he bought it new). I may buy a Buick again, after my Audi phase passes.......
It'd be nice to see an 88 Cutlass one day. Oldsmobiles need more love now that they're gone.

Used to deliver to the Comedy and Magic Club. I was always late to the rest of my stops, because as a fan of comedy and having free access to the whole place because its closed in the early afternoon, i would just roam the place and look at all the pictures and signatures on the walls. Would do the same thing at the Comedy Store on Sunset too.

Mazda 3speed or VW GTI R or Subaru WRX etc are kind of what I'm getting at. I was going to grab one of these GN about 10 years ago but went against it.

Buick Grand National An Iconic Ride
When I worked up at the Roxy's on Sunset Blvd., back in 2001-2002 he used to drive this GN up there. I told him one night, you don't know nothing about them GNs and he replied, "Trust me, I do, I'm a good ol' farm boy"!

Actually, it's VERY pretentious to have $900k Dodge along w/ Grand National... Those Grand Nationals are one of hottest cars w/ collectors nowadays. They go for $60k and aren't even mint condition.
neighbor up the street from me back then got one with their Kerr-McGee settlement (was the Silkwood kids), the son got one of these, and his sister got a Trans Am.. i think she had it like 2 weeks and wrapped it around a pole, but she was ok i heard, just bumps n bruises. but the son, he always took care of that GN. at the same time, i was driving a new 87 IROC, man i miss that car! ☮
I've been a Buick fan for years.
I love the fact that its blemished. That's great.
One of my favorite cars of all time
The FBI bought 500 of those Grand Nationals for surveillance, and then de-Grand nationalized them by repainting them in a variety of colors putting standard regal wheels on them and Regal badging on them.I always wondered how many people bought those things at GSA auctions thinking they were getting a regal, until they sat down in it or opened up the hood.

“A troublemaker car”
Jay thank you as always, I watch many of your videos, I had a Buick T Type in High School, a great car but the electrical system always gave me issues. David ping me next time you're on Oahu, we can surf and go to Strip Steak.

David said the guy who sold the car to him was meticulous with it’s care, then you see the cracked bumper cover and the paint missing the right rear quarter panel revealing rust which means it has been like that for awhile, he definitely does not take care of his cars like Jay does.

Jeez Dave. These cars are legends, take better care of it.. but glad to see you enjoy it.
FAST and straight were those days GM progressed to making the best full size luxury FAST nimble coupe ever made in the USA. GM took all the imperfections of the last generation and tweaked them out of the last year Riviera 1999 then quit making this marvelous machine that to this day has style. Less than 2000 built after 6 years of searching only 38 found so far? Folks say there are 99 Rivieras everywhere but once asked they can never tell me where exactly? I have 4 Jay Leno has none. For 1998, the 240 hp (180 kW) supercharged V6 became standard. GM's OnStar service was added as an option, along with minor interior design changes. 10,953 units were produced for 1998. With sales of all coupes declining in the North American market, GM decided to discontinue the Riviera. 1999 was the car's last model year with production of 1,956 cars ceasing on November 25, 1998. The final 200 cars had special silver paint and trim, and were denoted "Silver Arrow"[28] models, a designation which hearkened back to several Silver Arrow show cars that had been built off Riviera bodies by Bill Mitchell. Eighth-generation Rivieras received the most powerful V-6 Buick engine since the Grand Nationals of the 1980s. The supercharged OHV V6 gave impressive torque and acceleration, pushing the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in under 7 seconds, and turning the 1⁄4 mile in 15.5 seconds. Supercharged Rivieras achieved a fuel efficiency figure of 18/27 (city/highway mpg).
