The 77 to 79 Electra and Olds 98 with the 403 were probably the finest cars built in the US at that time, better than Cadillacs that year. 77 Olds 98 with 403 I had was very similar to this car, same color scheme, I had the pillowed velour, the telescopic steering column, and the thermometer on the drivers mirror....damn I miss that car - it had a factory tow package with posi rear. I drove it 3 years sold it to my mother, who drove it 4 years, then a buddy of mine bought from mom and drove it into the ground years later. It drove the same the whole time - always a cremepuff, people would comment on how nice it drove all the way to the end.
NICE My folk's best friends had a 77 in light green, my folks had the same light green 77 Regency sedan. both were great cars, the smart alternative to a Cadillac..
I had the identical in a 1978 that only just recently traded. Made it to 300,000 on the 403. Loved it, missed it, having seller’s regret now after seeing this 🤦🏼♂️🙈
We all thought GM had lost their minds when the smaller senior series cars came out in 1977. They were surprisingly efficient with their use of interior room and still nicely appointed. They were better than what followed in the 80's for sure!
@@ricktraficanti2673 ok I checked. Unless buick borrowed the steering wheel for a certain model, the steering wheel is a from a 76 Cadillac but it does have a Buick crest at the center.
You need to take it to a body shop and get the bumpers tucked and delete all the plastic fillers it looks a lot better and you don't have to go to the expense of buying the fillers and treat all the rust while they've got them taken apart
Thank you for preserving that classic
Thank you for saying that.
I would really like to have a Buick car like this. Wow!!!
Gorgeous classic with the telescopic steering wheel super rare

When you are ready to sell it let me know right away
Let me ask you something, how old were you in 1977, you're fumbling!
Lookin a tad worse for the ware? 🤔 interesting enough tho I suppose...
