[OldCarGuy29]

I have a question i know a lot about cars but this one has me stuck i just bought a 2001 Buick park avenue special edition it has a weird top on it not vinyl but some kind of strange to on it and a badge that says special edition im curious to know what makes it a special edition can anyone tell me please and thanks

I worked for auto manufacturers and distributors for 40+ years. At one, the Director of product Development had a glassed in frame hanging on the wall. In beautiful calligraphy it said “in case of slow sales break glass”, under the glass was a automotive badge that said “SPECIAL EDITION”. Probably just some combination of off the shelf gugas (vital top odd color upholstery etc) to give the sales people something to talk about and hold gross profit.

How many cars/trucks do you have in the back yard grave yard? Are you trying to harvest them, or just let them discompose? You should open a pick-pull lot.

I hope to clean up what we don’t want or need, learn more about what is here, get the junk rl people who don’t feel it’s quite trash yet lol. There is A LOT of work ahead tho… most vehicles that fall under antique in tht list would be best with someone who wants to restore them and not scrap or molestation by weirdos

Ahh, The 03 anniversary issue Ultra

to humbly brag, I dont see any fancy-smancy 03 anniversary editions with amber rear turns 🙂
oh how sleek the rear end becomes with less red

how important is this? not at all

but it was one of the happiest things I ever did in my life. Take that how it is, either depressing or enduring

While not a PA another one hit wonder 1979 Buick Palm Beach Lesabre - 2DR


Unless someone really wants a (fill in name) models they are just another used vehicle.

Only available after 1980 metric conversion, this is what was in the trunk for 79.

I think thats a california thing unless the blank spot between EFE and the "Low" for Low alttitude certification under the word catalyst was where it had that, but it rubbed away. Maybe
