Buick Park Avenue

How the Buick Park Avenue Started

The Buick Limited Park Avenue and Park Avenue Deluxe began as an appearance package on the Electra 225 Limited, a high-end trim of the full-size Electra 225 model line. It was named after Park Avenue in New York City.

Eventually the Park Avenue option replaced the Electra 225 Limited as the high-end trim. It remained the top trim option for the remainder of the Electra's life, and when Buick made the switch from the RWD C platform to the FWD C platform for the 1985 model year, the Park Avenue continued to be the top luxury option until the Park Avenue Ultra arrived in 1989.

1989 also brought the debut of the Buick Park Avenue Essence concept car, which looked like an early version of the ‘90s Park Avenue, but without a visible A or B pillar. By the time 1990 rolled around, Buick dropped the Electra and named its successor the Park Avenue.

How the Buick Park Avenue Ended

The Park Avenue used an updated version of the venerable 3.8L 3800 Buick V6 that the Electra had been using since the 1988 model year. Also known as the Series I 3800 a supercharged version was available in the Park Avenue Ultra, the high-end trim option. The Ultra also came with luxurious features of the times, like heated leather seats.

The Park Avenue retained much of the silhouette styling of the Park Avenue Essence, and it retained this shape into the second generation that lasted from 1997 to 2005. Like the first generation, these Park Avenues offered a supercharged version of the updated 3.8L V6, also known as the Series II 3800, in the Ultra trim, remained as Buick's flagship full-size sedan, and mounted Buick's waterfall grille to the front end. The new generation was built on GM's G platform, and not much changed other than a few technological updates and a new rear design. In North America, the Park Avenue was replaced by the Lucerne, but the nameplate was used for a luxury sedan in China from 2007-2012.
