    My Great Uncle Emil, who was a Buick-Oldsmobile man, was the first to take delivery of the all new for 75 Park Avenue. His car was very early production, August of 74. The first few examples were called the "Park Avenue Deluxe" executive editions, only a handful built which his car was, his car had airbags and a dealer installed telephone, at just a tick over 10,000 fully loaded, nothing was left out, it cost a little more than a new Sedan DeVille, Lincoln or a 98 Regency. The badge on the dash said, Park Avenue Deluxe. The Deluxe edition actually had velour on the dashboard which the regular Park Avenue did not have. Have never seen another Deluxe edition as it was too expensive, nobody wanted to pay Cadillac money for a Buick but what an amazing machine.

    My dad had the ‘76 Park Avenue Limited…I had to take my road test for my drivers license in that car in February in Detroit in two feet of snow…I was terrified in that barge even though I practiced for months in it…I aced my test and was happy even though he rarely let me drive it

    I worked at a Buick dealership as the 76 model year ended and the 77's started arriving. It was so sad to lose these magnificent cars as the 77 models just weren't up to these standards. The turn signal chime on a 76 is beautiful. Our last Park Avenue was a pretty yellow and I remember one lady being so disappointed that the only one left was not a color she liked (she bought it anyway!). We eventually got used to the downsized Buicks, but something definitely was missing. At least we had the Regals which weren't downsized for another year The 350 was very nice in that car too.

    Thanks for sharing! Grandpa sold Buicks for many years. He always drove the top of the line! Those 4 note horns were unique to Buicks and Cadillacs. Very distinctive! The other feature I won't forget is the needle setting on the speedometer. When your speed exceeded the setting, it would make a buzzing alert sound. Thanks again for the video.

    My G-pa retired from a Chevy, Buick Cadillac dealership in the early nineties after almost 40 years of selling these beautiful vehicles... My G-ma always said "we're a Buick family, not a Cadillac family..." I too love these old Buicks...! My parents marriage car was a 70 GS Skylark...! I wish he would've keep some of his old hotrod Chevys and Buicks from back then...we'd be in great shape if he did, but who knew they'd be priceless today...! They were just cars back then, every the years, trade it in and get a new one was the attitude about them... Anyway, Buicks are great, thanks for sharing...!

      In 1976 both came standard with the Buick 455. However, due to a strike, Buick offered the Buick 350 as a $159 credit delete option for the 455. Only 2000 of those were built. My Limited is one of them. It's the smoothest engine I have ever owned

    In L8 '75, I got da Landau coupe fully equipped, but, with da Astroroof. U could NOT get it on any 4dr. Plus, da coupe didn't rattle in comparison to da 4dr. My '76 was Pewter color maroon triple stripe & interior. I got da speed alert buzzer, instead of cruise control, & manual A/C instead auto, tilt steering, Limited slip rear, but for foul weather. Gr8 highway traveler, enuff room for 6 & their luggage, too. Da 455 was 1 of da highest h.p. of GMs big block. More so dan Caddy 500.
    205 vs 190. I penny pinched my way to a total of $8659. Den, I replaced da wide White walls Uniroyals (which Stunk) with VOGUE LR70-15 tires. I ❤dat deuce mo' dan my girlfriends. It was for 76 da longest car 233.5" other dan da Caddy Brougham. I kept it til 78, got me a Linc Mark V with 460 4v. Final year. But, da deuce felt a much better handler. AWESOME MASTERPIECES, real landyachts. Imagine em with todays Technology. Better dan any SUV. Njoy em, pal, I know I did.❤
