I believe Buick is the best American car; best in style and best in quality.

This is a very very rare car. You almost NEVER see a Park Avenue trim Electra in coupe form from the 1977-1979 years. I see quite a few Park Avenue sedans but never the coupes. That baby blue is to die for on this car. Other than those paint blemishes this car is gorgeous.

Dam! What a beautiful throw back to a time when luxury, power and style was how American cars were made!

OG ride for all my Mississippi folk.

These cars are so nice and are definitely under appreciated. "Elegant" is the word that comes to mind when I see this. I remember when these were regularly driving around. The 403 is definitely a great engine to have in one of these - the biggest you could get in 1978. Buicks were considered to be good cars and it was a well respected brand back then. Just fix the paint on the trunk - you'll be good to go!

The first Park Ave coupe, very cool comfortable interior design quiet beyond belief, with olds engine power you've got a true road dog❤❤❤❤.

My wife had a Buick Electra 225, same color. If I could find another one today , I think I would buy it. Even today's luxury cars are mostly expensive plastics.

Richmond Virginia love this car 💯 🚙 2022

That is one of the nicest cars in the world

I'm glad you made a video of 78 park ave coupe, first year for the 2 dr,I work on one at a collision shop 6 months old that year.

Specifically, a 1978 2-door model depicted here. The '78 was much better-looking, especially in the rear, than the '77 model which seems to steal the spotlight whenever these cars are discussed. The wrap-around taillights with the filtered white spots (filtered to glow red until the car was put in reverse) was one of the last great styling touches of the '70s, and in my opinion blew anything of the '80s into the weeds. The '79, though, was *the* best-looking of the three years, especially the 2-door models, which still had a streamlined greenhouse as opposed to the boxy greenhouse of the 4-door models. I used to have one, a silver "Limited" trim (people from back in the day may snicker at that, remembering "Limited to *what?* ") with red-velour interior and a Buick V-8 (not all of them had Buick engines), and I have to say I thought that car had a more elegant, more stylish look than even the Lincolns of that year (and I am very favorably biased towards Lincolns). It looked even better after I had added a few subtle trim pieces to it: Namely, a '79+ shield on the trunk lid, just above the keyhole, a starboard-side rear-view mirror (which back then was an optional extra that mine did not originally have), and reproduced "Electra 225" nameplates done in the cursive-scriptwork of the plates of '67 thru '69, the last being so people would see the answer to their snarky question before they even asked it. I miss that car; if I had a chance to get another, I probably would...but as an addition to my current '66 Lincoln, not as a replacement.

Have had one from 1989 to 1994. The car I drove the longest, 50.000 miles with no issues. White with white landau roof and red interior. Purchased and exported to germany from an Arizona car dealer, was his wife's car with 27,000 miles. got 16-17 mpg. I miss that car every year more. Greets from Germany

My favorite car forever

The peeling paint is not a sign of rust but the results of the metal having a high amount of phosferous in the stamping process. This prevented the paint and clear coat from sticking to the metal. Had a 78 Pontiac that I had to have repainted in 1980. Paint peeled right off the hood. They should have been recalled.

Beautiful color!

Thanks for the memories about these GM cars, I liked the styling with the round brushed metal gauges and the wire wheel covers, white walls and padded vinyl landau roof. At the time I had a fondness for the 450SEL, but they were astronomically expensive, the uber German engineering won out.

Beautiful

CLEAN!!

Very nice 👍

This is a GORGEOUS car & I’m so glad you chose to do a video! You’re right…there aren’t many (spelled n-o-n-e) vids of these out there so yours is truly one-of-a-kind! I have a 77 Coupe DeVille & I think the interior of your Buick is nicer. BTW…where did you get the “proper” whitewall tires? They really enhance the look of this classy machine.

I have a 96 Buick Park Avenue best car I’ve owned

That is one beautiful automobile my friend hopefully I can own one some day .

My mother had a 1980 Park Avenue. It had a 350 4 barrel carburetor. Those were real luxury cars and not the small 4 cylinder cars. My sister has a 2019 Lexus and the seats are not comfortable.

Nice very nice I have one a 1979 Buick Park Avenue with a 403 T Transmission its 4 sale

Now this is a car! Not the disposable computerized plastic junk of today.

In '78 Some how, I didn't like what Buick did to the Electra. Coming from the last full sized Deuce & quarter(76) I had a Landau coupe fully equipped, Astroroof, limited slip,... I instead got a Riviera w/Astroroof, limited slip, 4 wheel disc, a repeat of options from my deuce. Bc my loyal salesman told me they were changing to FWD. The 403 4bbl somehow felt sportier on the Riv, than Electra coupe. But, nice video.
