 1968 Buick Special Deluxe 6-passenger station wagon finished in striking Teal Blue Mist and Arctic White">. It featured a 350 V-8 w/2 bbl carb rated at 230 hp mated to a Super Turbine 300 automatic with column shift. I bought it for the princely sum of $650 in 1981 about two months after I turned 16. It was still running in December 1992. It was the car that earned my unconditional respect and praise for the awesome Buick automobile!

The classmate still looks good (but she's heavy into Botox  ). There's a bunch of reminiscing going on over in the UAW topic that we're moving over here, so pardon any out of sequence posts. |

I think the US caught up around the early to mid 90s but it was too late, and the press is still biased. and the american public contues to drink the kool-aid. So I'll bite. Which early to mid 90's cars do you think were caught up with the imports of the same day? '96 Infinniti M30 vs '96 Riviera. Series II 3800 (per Wards) made 10 best engines in world list. Shortstar was up there. Buick Topped Lexus in initial quality in '96. They had their qualities in different areas but they each excelled in some areas. By late 90's, the Gen 3 V8's and 3.5 V6 were out. Trucks that got 13 mpg at 120 mph and rode quieter than M30's were out in mid '98. Vettes were at the level you question.
