[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7573961, member: 541144"] New-to-me 1999 Buick Park Avenue Ultra. 3 stage factory paint, leather interior, supercharged 3800, all the bells & whistles that were available in it's time. [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7022/6454982445_1aa5676410_z.jpg[/IMG] Mmmm... leather.... [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7158/6454978641_88d7c0ac70_z.jpg[/IMG] Big, comfy, powerful, quiet.
