The GN bowed at mid ’82 as a low-volume commemorative car (named for the Chevy-powered Regals then starting to clean up on the NASCAR circuit), but in reality, it was just a fancy T Type. Power’s 1989 quality survey prompted Buick to bill itself as “the new symbol for quality in America.” LeSabre also earned “best family car” honors from Family Circle magazine and a string of yearly Best Buy endorsements from Consumer Guide®. Magazine testers clocked 0-60 in the mid-fives and the quarter-mile in about 14.5 seconds at 95 mph. In fact, these Buicks bid fair as the fastest cars in the land, able to bound from 0 to 60 in about six seconds. Where the regular Park Avenue took 9.2 seconds 0-60, the Ultra needed about eight. Like their linemates, Park Avenue/Ultra added a few standard features each year. Models thinned to a $24,385 Park Avenue sedan and a posh new $27,420 Park Avenue Ultra. GS models always had a standard V-6: a Buick 3.3 through ’93, then a Chevy-built 3.1. Either was preferable to the otherwise-standard Quad-4, which remained a rough-and-rowdy runner despite GM’s best efforts to civilize it (including the belated addition of twin balance shafts for ’95, when it was prosaically retitled Twin Cam).

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will deliver thousands of electric school buses nationwide, including in rural communities, to help school districts across the country buy clean, American-made, zero emission buses and replace the yellow school bus fleet for America’s children. While holding on to an old design might seem questionable, Buick couldn’t afford to let this one die, because the Century had come to have great appeal for rental-car companies and other fleet buyers; in fact, they now accounted for the majority of sales. Sales, of course, were the most important payoff, and Century model-year production remained well above 100,000 for 1990-95. This was achieved with remarkably few changes: a more-orthodox face for ’91, new downpriced Special models for ’92 (recycling yet another familiar Buick name), a new 2.2-liter base four for ’93 (ousting the old Iron Duke at last). Also new for ’92 was optional traction control for both models (later extended to LeSabre as well). An optional four-speed unit arrived for ’94, when all Skylarks gained a driver-side airbag as well as standard air conditioning, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, power windows, and automatic power door locks.

Both carried 3800 V-6s with tuned-port injection and 170 bhp, plus four-speed automatic transaxles with electronic shift control newly integrated with the engine computer. Recalibrated engine electronics gave the ’87s 10 bhp more — and truly phenomenal acceleration. Horse­power was rated at 175-180 bhp at first, then boosted to 200 bhp for 1984 via sequential-port fuel injection. Here are some basic fuel storage tips / facts that can help residential as well as commercial users avoid or prevent fuel related accidents. In fact, the SOFC has demonstrated the longest operating life of any fuel cell under certain operating conditions. In fact, several U.S. Come 1992, it added a supercharged V-6, the only such engine in U.S. Unlike Buick turbos of the ’70s and ’80s, Ultra’s supercharged engine was tuned for low-speed torque, not high-end power. The Clean Water Rule was part of a larger mobilization by the Obama administration to ingrain the presidency with an environmental legacy, which Republicans have viewed as an “over-reach” of executive power. Witches may have a spell up their sleeves for black cat fur on their cloaks, but we mortals don’t even need it! A three-speed automatic was still the lone transmission and thus quite passé even for a compact.

Yet despite such tactics and worthy interim changes, this was still one of those cars that seemed to aim more at Hertz and Avis than Joe and Jane America. By that point, Buick was into “value pricing” (like other GM divisions), which meant selling well-equipped cars for several hundred dollars less than if they were “optioned up” the usual way. Chemical processes like distillation and crystallization go back to alchemy in Alexandria, Egypt. The mechanical and digestive processes have one goal: to convert food into molecules small enough to be absorbed by the epithelial cells of the intestinal villi. According to Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and United Nations investigations, both the Syrian Arab Republic’s forces and Islamic State militants have used chemical weapons during the conflict.
