#Modern Classics
FYI, As a prior owner, the radio volume has the "tactile' feel because it's a motorized knob. When you use the steering wheel radio controls the volume knob actually moves. The headlight adj is for how long the lights stay on after you shut the car off not the sensitivity..on most GM cars it was called Twilight Sentinal
Twilight Sentinal was unique to Cadillac. Other divisions with this feature used other names
@Connor Arroyo nope, my 01 park avenue is labeled twilight sentinel above the slider
My grandpa bought a year old 96 Riviera in that same interior and exterior color. He had just bought an electroplating machine and went crazy gold plating all the exterior trim bits.
He had a stroke in 1999 and after recovering, decided to buy a VW New Beetle, so my parents got the Riv. I took that car to my Senior Prom. It was a torque monster and I loves driving that big, floaty SOB.
Thanks for bring back some good memories!
Rivera = 2-door Oldsmobile Aurora, which is not damning with faint praise. The Olds' 4.0L V8 was smoother, but the blown 3.8 is more reliable. $3,000 is not a terrible price, and maybe another $1000 to get it perfect. Not a bad deal at all.
The dealer that bought it did just that (touched up the bumpers) and is asking $9,999.
Agreed
Correct, I think the vlogger was clueless about what this vehicle is. It is not a Monte Carlo.
A blown 3.8 is a good engine for sure.
Ya my 4.0 old was an excellent car until the dreaded blown head gasket & $5k to fix it correct!
I bought a 1995 Riviera from the orignal owner. It had every option available. The color was Adriatic Blue which is the color of the one you are auctioning . The build date was August 4, 1994. There was no 1994 Riviera as it was introduced for 1995. It was one of the best cars i have ever owned.
These Buick Rivieras have NOTHING to do with the W body Monte Carlo at all. The G body was all-new in 95, and was shared with the then new Oldsmobile Aurora. Just setting the record straight. This is a great choice. I’d drive it in a minute. At the right speed, that supercharger whine will charm you over.
Didn’t the Auroras have a v8 option also?
@@paulhunter9613 Aurora 4.0 V8, which was a downsized Northstar engine. The V6 was a 3.5 DOHC.
@@christopherdouglas8471 Not to contradict you, however I believe the 6 cylinder at the time was the Buick 3800 Series 2 (an awesomely reliable engine with lots of tuning potential). Great engine👍🏾
@GordonBeckles he's actually correct
@@GordonBeckles I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this, but, to be clear, the Oldsmobile Aurora NEVER used the 3800 V6. Any google will confirm the 2nd generation Aurora used the DOHC 3.5 V6, as I previously told you. The Riviera used both naturally aspirated and supercharged versions of the Buick 3800 engine.
I actually love this new series. You guys prove that you don't have to pay big money for a cool vehicle. Keep it going guys.
I had a 98 Riv with 38k miles, most comfortable car I have ever owned. When I sold it in the Rocky Mountain news want ads, remember those, I had 24 voicemails in the first 3 hours.
My brother had an 82' Riviera in the 90s. Buick Rivieras n Oldsmobile Tornado's ...I remember lots of em on the road yrs ago
I miss the 90s cars. I love love this series guys, great work!
Same here
In the 1990s, I worked with someone who bought a brand new Riviera and a new house in the same year. When he got his first outrageous property tax bill (in DuPage County, Illinois), he traded the Riviera for a Geo Tracker!
wow.. what a POS
What a unfortunate, massive downgrade!
Love this series idea! I find myself wanting to be a part of your conversations. Brendan is an amazing addition to the channel.
Love the Lincoln Mark from that time period as well. I remember the commercial saying that the ashtray was big enough for 2 cigars
4:30...that adjustment is for how long your headlights stay on after you shut the car off...not darkness it comes on or anything else...typical mid-90's GM twilight sentinel I believe...FYI
I owned both the Riviera and Lincoln Mark VIII's LSC and there is no comparison ,the Mark had the original aluminum 32v intech Cobra motor , first cars with HID headlights,rear neon ballast tail light, cockpit interior and air ride( which is easy to fix instead of coilovers ) these cars were way ahead of their time, Ive owned 4 over the years and currently have 2 a 98 Collectors Edition pearlescent white and a 97 black on black LSC both low mileage and great condition, last of the rear wheel drive Lincoln muscle cars .
The Mazdaspeed is a cool car, but that one at the auction was one to run away from. Aside from the issues you found, it had an obvious repaint on the passenger side suggesting a past accident.
I was really quite fond of these cars back in the day. They were beautifully styled for their day.
The Mark VIii had the 32v 4.6L V8.
It was 280hp and far superior to the competition of the day
Air suspension took these to the junkyard and not many liked the look of that car.
@@BruceLee-xn3nn there's a kit out there to change the bags to springs
@@johnschnellbach986 there wasn't years ago. Majority of these cars airbags had problems even when they were almost new.
unfortunately, while the motor was good...the cars themselves were maintenance hogs overall. I do love the mn12 chassis, but ford's advanced systems of the era were lacking in reliability.
@@BruceLee-xn3nn Mr Lee, my 98 mkviii is still going strong, but only 95k. It is a Florida edition with cloth top. I did do an oring replace on the air struts. They are still holding. In its day I believe it was the finest car FOMOCO ever made.
I drove a Black Riv in college. Loved that thing!
I love this series! I recently have a newfound appreciation for nice used cars in good shape so it’s fun to see these. The Buick is my favorite looks wise, the Mercedes is the most practical. The Mazda looks like a lot of fun to drive
How about a 2005 Buick Ultra Park Ave. With with port holes and V6 super charger? It's a very comfortable riding car.🤔
👍👍
Still a pos🤣
@@GolfInHawaii69 What is a pos?
The Monte Carlo of that Era was a W Body, G was a more modern platform shared with 2nd gen aurora and the final Bonneville.
G body cars were 1978-1988
@@M_Phipps0520 I obviously meant the newer G Body, 1995-2011
The 1995 Riviera had the Series 1 3800 and was the only year for that body style they went to the Series 2 in 1996. I had a 1995 and a certain rep from a chemical company de-fogged my car and the supercharged car pushed the chemical passed the rings and washed my bearings out. Killed the car. It was an awesome car though while I had it though.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the later years (I wanna say 96 or 97) of the Buick Riviera had heated seats for both front passenger and driver.
Infinity j30! Especially the T model! Great car!
Now that the Buick-induced dry heaves have subsided I have to say I am surprised by a lot in this video. First, that 'good' cars can be bought so cheaply, at least at auction (save for the Mazda). The Riviera is a very nice example of that car, I just get hives looking at that mid-90s interior and all the horrible design decisions it represents. The ML430 is the coolest car there, and for 3 G's, that's the buy of the video. Put some good ATs on that sucker, rip out the back seats and you have a cheap off-roader you can sleep in to boot! Anyway, keep up the good work fellas, I like the vids.
I love the interior especially the color
How about a Lincoln Mark Vii LSC, an Oldsmobile Aurora, and lets say a Dodge Intrepid ES.
I almost bought one of these in 1995 but I decided on a 1995 Trans Am with 5.7 liter V8 eith a 6 speed with T Top .
Hope u have the TA
@@rickreese5794 no I sold it in 1998 and bought a more practical vehicle. 1998 GMC 2500 4x4 extended cab 8ft bed with a 5.7 liter V8 and i still drive it today .
@@scubatrucker6806
Ha, I love GMT400 Trucks, see them with tons of
Miles still rollin. Have a couple now, thx for the smile…
@@rickreese5794 you ever parked a 1995 TA in a regular parking spot with those long doors 🤣🤣not easy to get in and out.
@@scubatrucker6806
Mom had a 1996 Z28,
Absolutely right PAL,
Thx for the memories S.T.
I like it. It's funny when these cars came out I did not like them, typical GM 90's garbage quality interiors but now a days I like them.
The Buick for sure. Style.
Great Series!!!!!
Love this new series! Can't wait to see more
I wish I could adjust the automatic lights on my 2018 focus st, like on the Riviera. They are a little annoying. Only turn on when it's been dark enough for long enough, not instantly WHEN it's dark enough. I could be driving though dark enough shade, but they won't turn on unless long enough time has passed🤨 by which time I will have driven through it, likewise won't turn off unless it's bright enough for long enough.
Also, will turn on in the garage in the daytime in the shade, other times it won't. And driving through the covered bridge in town, even though it's completely dark, won't turn on in the daytime. 😮💨
More of these please!
The fact that Tommy knows what his grandparents look like naked makes me wonder what kind of neo hippie commune Roman raised his kids on😂😅
I'm enjoying this video series.
There'll never be a "classics cult" like there was and is for many 50's thru 70's models.
love this show.
Here in Germany, the ML has problem with rust..
The ML series was originally based off and shared its platform and innards with the original Chrysler Pacifica. Which BTW was a much better looking vehicle.
First and third cars. Buy them, restore, and enjoy the ride
Do the 93 Lincoln Mark Viii!
No on Mercedes ML. Reliability was terrible. The Buick was good with the very strong 3800 V6. Comfy too.
Rivera all day. That one thou!
So we're just gonna ignore the red c4 corvette literally 10 feet away? 🤦♂️
Just picked up a 1999 crown Victoria with less than 100k miles on it, one owner, garage kept, ford serviced. I paid 3 k for it and what a car! .....One of the last full sized full chassis basic V8 powered rear wheel drive sedans. I will be keeping it for the next decade or longer ... they will never make them like this again
good luck finding a Riviera that is as nice as that one
So far, I love the Rivera.
1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC
Good stuff; keep 'em coming!
Hehe do germans have an issue having a beverage in the car? Seems to be a running theme at least in that era and region.
I love the car
My Mom had a 96 Riviera my son bought from her in 2012 when he was working the oil fields in west Texas. He drove that car back and forth from San Antonio to Midland Texas which is 323 miles oneway for 5 years oil changes and shocks several times (west Texas roads rough to say the least) I'm sure that car had 350,000 very rough miles before it gave up the ghost
That’s a tough drive. Wow.
Yep. All of the FWD GMs of that era went through wheel bearings, shocks. But other than that a couple of engine things that are/were cheap to fix they just ran forever. My '95 Olds 88 with the base engine is the same.
My grandparents bought two,one silver and one black, for their 50th wedding anniversary.
Both of them drove for over 20 years and 250,000 mi with minimal issues.
My grandfather relayed a story on how on one of their cross country trips he had the cruise control set at 100 mph while cruising through Montana.
When they can no longer drive none of my relatives wanted them and they ended up on a buy here pay here used car lot.
@@williamegler8771 love hearing these stories, it's a trip back to yesteryear, when elders appointment luxury, style, comfort, simplicity.
Those supercharged 3.8’s were a great engine, if you kept up on maintenance and oil changes they would last a long, long time, if I found one like in this vid for 3K it would be sitting in my garage. GM made some good dependable cars back then. Even the LeSabre and Bonnevilles
The G body is the Riviera,Aurora,Seville and Park Ave.The Monte Carlo is a W body.
@Darin Greeley the Seville only moved to the G body in 1986 it had been on an X Body for its first two generations 1976-1985 as it was originally a stretched 4th gen Chevy Nova the Caddy was 7.3 in longer than the Nova 204 in vs 196.7 in my childhood best friends dad had a 1989 Cadillac Seville STS from new in 1988 until he was arrested in March 1990 for his mob involvement the mom drove a W126 SL 500 coupe and the daughter who has a limited license drives an AMG C63 GT coupe
@@courtneypuzzo2502 This iteration of the G Platform didn't start until 1995 with the Riviera and Aurora.
@@courtneypuzzo2502 we are talking about the 1995 and newer cars. I'm well aware of the 70s caddy that was based of the nova.
1979 was the last rear drive chevy nova.
@@Browningate the Park Avenue too I think. The Le Sabre and Pontiac Bonneville stayed the same until 2000.
I prefer Ford Thunderbirds and Lincoln Mark 7 and 8. They are rear wheel drive. Actually Mercury Cougars are kind of cool too.
97 mark viii was a cool car but overly complicated air suspension doomed it if the air system failed to inflate one could not get a jack under it or on a trailer etc and all this electronic gadgetry will go bad at sometime and doom the modern car as collectable
That car is way cool. Amazing design inside and out. The Riviera and the Oldsmobile Aurora were designs ahead of their time.
I’d argue to lump the Bonneville in there as a more affordable but just as forward thinking of a car as the riv and olds. The ssei is gonna go for money some day I just know it.
@@theeoddments960 yes. How could I forget! I'll take my seeing in green over tan please.
I had a customer with one with a burgundy exterior and tan interior. I loved that car, I tried to buy it seriously times. The 3800 was one of the best V6's GM ever made. I had several.
Lincoln mk8 has a 4v cobra engine, with rear wheel drive. Irs rear suspension. Sleepers with comfort
When I bought my 98 mkviii, I gave my friend a ride and she said this is luxury with an attitude. Still going strong 24 yrs later.
Ive owned 4 over the years and currently have 2 a 97 black on black LSC and a 98 Collectors Edition pearlescent white both with low miles and great condition ,they are awesome cars ahead of their time with rear neon ballast and hid headlights ,the air ride just went down on the 97 after 27 years and it cost me $130 for new bags and solenoids and its back on the road ,everybody converts to coilovers because they think the car is done and the ride is bumpy and sucks ,Ill be hanging on to my 2 and they will get whatever they need ,last of the Lincoln hot rods .
Owned a 95 Riv. Good highway cruiser. 30 mpg hiway. Huge trunk.
My mom had a 95 Supercharged Riv that I took my license test in. I LOVE that car. It was just fast enough with just enough of a supercharger whine but it was also as comfortable as anything. And you're right those gauges are killer!
IT CAN'T TOUCH LEXUS, YOU BUFFOON👺👺👺
yeah, the comparison to an SC400 is laughable at best.
I'd love to know how many 8th gen Rivieras are left. I doubt it's much more than 5000 and most will be used up as poor people daily drivers over the next few years. It's going to end up being a very rare car.
I'd venture to say 1/3 are probably still on the road. 5000 is way, WAY low.
Had a 98 riviera with the ol m90. Did a pulley drop, better plugs, downpipe, intake for some loud whine. It moved pretty well. I got it at 130k miles, died at 300k. And yes the original 4t65hd
The 90s were the best time for car enthusiasts. You had the choice between everything you can dream of. Every car company offered nearly every type of car
Yeah, whereas nowadays cars all look the same, they're emissions clogged tiny 1-2 liter engines, almost no manual transmissions, 1970s cars are all expensive or need rebuilding, and 80s-90s cars are all beat up or super high mileage
I think the early 1970s were best for used cars.. Cars from the 1950s were still quite common, and there were some great Pontiacs available at reasonable prices, GTO, Bonneville, Catalina 2+2, Firebirds, Grand Prix, Trans Am.. MOPAR HEMIS, Cadillacs with tail fins from '60s and '50s.. Hurst Oldsmobiles,..Great stuff..
You're totally right! There are few "must have" desirable new vehicles for sale. Design language has become unappealing, and drive really carefully, lest you kill the engine or transmission.
Living through the 90s...and recalling the GM product lines....Lumina and Monte Carlo were based on the GM10/W body platform. The Monte Carlo replaced the Lumina coupe in 1995. This G body isn't related to the A/G body that underpinned the 1978 to 1988 rear drivers which included the Monte Carlo. This new G Body that underpinned the Riviera was related to the Olds Aurora and more distantly to the Cadillac Seville.
I looked at one that was for sale that was in perfect condition and would have been worth preserving...but opted not to get it since I needed to get a car that would be practical for the younger driver.
i have a 2003 bonneville SSEi, it has a few basic mods... for a big car she can move along. running a 3.6" pulley and supporting mods. there arent many left anymore. i like the car so much i refuse to drive in the winter
I think the rivera is a stunning personal luxury car thats both reliable and inexpensive to maintain. Smart buy that looks like a concept show-car for the street,
I had a 96 bought in 98 it ran low 15s at Pomona traded it in 2016. The Riv had 206k miles and still kicked ass. They were fast for the time and almost 40k new.
This Riviera was originally a GM showcar concept put into production with most of the vision intact. I agree this will be a classic. Even though materials, fit and finish of all American cars between 1973 and 2000 are suspect, those that can say : I remember " will show interest.
Beware of what's underneath the car!
Depending on what state there's a thing called rust! Check your chackles and springs and frame!
I had a 96, my absolute favorite car !!! Seats were like butter!!
That Buick had Michelin tires on it. Somebody really loved their old car and took care of it. Michelin tires are a very good indicator the oil was always changed on time and the owner spent the $$$ to fix things when they broke/wore out. Also I like the weird styling, especially that knife edge detail on the front and rear fenders.
90s cars really are the best. yeah they had all the crappy plastic but they had style and comfort before all the tech was jammed into cars that we don't need or want but have to buy that drives the car prices thru the roof. I bet 25 years from now 2022 models will not hold up so well because all the tech crap broke and no replacement parts.
Great format. Brendan is a good addition to the team.
That car shared its platform with the olds aurora not the Monte Carlo.
The 90's Buick and Pontiac had great engines..my dad had a 95 regal and a 95 GRAND AM GT..I think they both had the same engine..btw I like how u guys started adding more channels like the classics channel
I had a 1998 Park ave. And I absolutely loved it! My only complaint is the speed limiter cut in like getting kicked in the face at a whole whapping 105 mph, while still strongly accelerating 🤣
Such a shame, Pontiac grand prix did the same, those cars were smooth enough at speed, almost would have been worth it to screw with the computer to see what it would do. One of my friends had one of the early supercharged gtp, with headers, supercharger pulley, and had a weird box tied into the map sensor, Sill would get to right at 100 and cut....but it could run a full quarter mile (yes it was slow)
I remember that from my 98 Bonneville, hit 99mph and it would cut power until you dropped back down to 95. if you stayed in it, it was like a bucking bronco, hilarious
I had an 02 GTP 40th anniversary edition coupe, 3.4 pully, zzp tuned with all the supporting mods, got it up to 137 without an issue.
I haven't been brave enough to push my 01 park above 110 but I believe she'll do it if I try 😂 I got a 3 hr drive ahead of me so I'll have to try it
They missed some of the best features on the Riviera.
The two driver feature. Driver one presses the key fob the seat drops all the way down and back when you close the door the seat goes to your setting. Same for a driver two
And an exit button on the armrest making the seat go all the way back for easy exit. Built in programmable three garage door opener function. My 96 had the upgraded sound system and it was really good. Metal flake red with tan leather interior.
Worked for Enterprise from 97-98. The Riviera was so much fun to drive
Nothing sluggish about how these Rivera’s performed or handled, their styling is timeless!
Love the new series . . .
. . . didn't TFL have an ML for an off-road series that hmmmm seized up?
Transfer case, Bingo! Tommy remembers!
those rivieras were great looking cars.
Really enjoyed this episode! And as a previous ‘05 ML500 owner, I agree with the recommendation of the W163, if you can find one that’s been properly maintained!
Those Rivs were awesome in their day. Still nice looking honestly. That Supercharged 3.8 was a legit monster back then too.
220 HP was nothing to Scoff at back in the 90s. It was on par with the entry level performance cars like the N/A Mk IV Supra (220 hp) and the Mustang GT (215 hp). It would be the equivalent of a 400 hp car today.
This generation Riv was the best looking since the 1965 first generation. Shame that it was FWD.
Those 3.8s they used were great engines. Reliable, with good power for the mpg.
The Lincoln Mark VIII had a 270 hp engine in “regular “ trim and 290 in LSC trim. Plus it had at the time the most expensive HID headlamps and super bright rear lights / rear light bar.
The tail lights on the MK VIII were neon. Headlights were xenon.
Did you ever have to replace one of those headlights? extremely expensive for its time. A friend had to replace one and I believe he said it was around $350. A lot of money back then, you couldn’t replace just the bulb, it had to have the whole headlamp replaced
I just replaced mine and it was $75 bucks for the whole assembly on FB marketplace also the rear air ride dropped after 27 years and it cost me $130 for new bags and solenoids no way I was doing coilovers at 5 times the costs for parts and the ride sucks the neon ballast rear tail lamp is new on Ebay for $110 and the car rides and looks better than 95 % of anything else on the road today ,they are cheap and easy to fix and have a tremendous motor that can be tweaked to be a real badass ,last of the Lincoln muscle cars .
Good find! Loving these videos. Another good one is the 90s Lumina Z34 with the 3.4 DOHC. My dad had one that had a cell phone in it. Took it to the drag strip when I was in high school.
I had one as a demo... I liked it. That and the Z24 Cavalier. Sporty and cheap.
But I wasn't much for the crazy Berettas... GTU and GTZ.
When I was an exchange student in the US in 1994 my host family had a red Lumina Z34. For me as a european it looked weired but cool. I realy like it. When I visited them in 1999 they traded it to a Monte Carlo Z34. I didn't like that at all.
@@stefanfalldorf6573 Monte Carlo was essentially a 2 door W body Impala
@@my1vice I had a ‘92 Grand Prix GTP with the 3.4 DOHC and 5 spd. It had a redline of 7000 rpm, it loved to rev. It was loaded , handling pkg, factory Z rated eagle GT 50 series tires that were 11” wide. That car was very fast and would take a hard 90 deg turn at 35mph and not squeal the tires. They made very few of that model, wish I had kept it, it was a garage queen with extremely low mi also
I have a 96 Riviera. It needed some TLC when I bought it. Everytime I think I should sell it, I drive it and I want to keep it! Luv the car.
The Riviera looks like a catfish from the front. Lexus SC all day every day for me.
Absolutely agree. You made me appreciate the Buck.
I think the Aurora would be a good choice as well as a supercharged t-bird/Cougar.... Especially if it is a 5 speed.
First gen Taurus SHO.
I recently just got rid of my 2003 Buick LeSabre and let me tell you, even without the supercharger the 3800's drive like an absolute dream. I wish there were more modern vehicles like the Rivera and LeSabre without spending a ton of money because they really were the best to cruise around in and enjoy the trip.
They were fantastic cars and were excellent long road trip vehicles
@@paulhunter9613 Oh absolutely, that thing drove from Florida to Indiana more then it's fair share lol
I have an 01 park ave non-sc I bought from my great grandparents and couldn't agree more. I will replace that entire car piece by piece as it breaks before I get rid of it
Of these three cars, the Mercedes is a hard pass. I don’t care how good it might be, I just flat out don’t want it. The Mazda Speed 3 is really cool and a very fun little rocket with one of the better interiors of the period. In my opinion, these were much better than they were given credit for. This car easily earned the ‘Zoom Zoom’ advertising moniker from the time. But this one was over priced. But still a very nice car. But it’s the Buick Riviera for me going away. It looks good, has a very good interior, has a good supercharged motor under the hood, and you could easily bump the hp by 25 to 35 with just a pulley change. These cars were the blue hair hot rods. And I have always liked the style and look of this generation of Riviera. This is a real Buick in every sense on the brand. It’s just a flat out cool car. Buick for the win.
What's a Buick Riv ? Lexus made a SC 400 AND a SC 300 Spanky ! Not the best looking coupe ever made. Add to that the GM expertise for cheap and I would keep looking !!
Love the series, definitely dont see the appeal in the merc tho. My friend has one. It overheated smelled like crayons and was always getting into troubles (not to mention the switches were basically falling out of the door)
Definitely not my choice, but the rivera was cool!
I had two rivieras a 98 sc and a 97 na definitely need to get a supercharged one mine lasted 350k before the engine blew due to dex-kill related problems but those cars are dead reliable and i would absolutely buy one for 3k again, also a couple of extra quirks about the car, the battery is underneath the rear seats if you buy one of these CHECK IT theres a small vent tube that HAS to be connected to the battery otherwise you risk poisoning yourself and dying from the battery fumes, the water pumps especially on the older ones go out occasionally you have to loosen the motor mounts to get them off, the superchargers on these are very desirable as they can be modded to make a pretty decent boost number, the rear seats dont fold down but there is (sometimes) a microscopic pass through that you can barely fit your arm through, theres a couple other things but for the most part these are great cars overall especially if you want a nice sound system) thanks for checking out these cool cars guys
Another great deal out there now is the C4 Corvette, especially the 1994-1996 models.
Also C5 Corvettes can be had at very low prices
Shhh, don’t say that out loud, I’ve been thinking of buying a C4, they are very cheap now, I’ve actually seen the price creep up in the last yr, people are getting wise😳
@@paulhunter9613 C4s have been going up since 2018ish...
Had a Civic that had to go in for warranty work in 97. I got a Riviera as a rental cause out of compact cars. After 2 weeks in Riviera I didn't wanna go back to the civic.
Nice, but not quite competition with the mentioned Mark VIII 1993-98. Rear wheel drive. Independent front & rear suspension. 32 valve Dual Over Head Cam “Intech” 4.6 L V-8. 290hp ( the engine that would soon be powering the Mustang Cobra.)
I had a 1992 Olds Touring Sedan with the supercharged 3800. Loved that car but rust got the best of it. On 93 octane, that big old car got 34 mpg! It also had air ride suspension which floated you down the highway. Only 1800 Touring Sedans made that year but I don't know how many were 'blown.' The Park Avenue also had a supercharged model.
Was that the Delta 88 LSS ?
@@MarinCipollina No. It was a 98 variant.
I love those Rivieras from that period.
