Go Ahead You Deserve It: 1990 Buick Reatta

DailyTurismo Modern Classic 'Murica, Buick, Reatta 4

I’ll be the first to admit that there is an abundance of sketchy stuff and dodgy sellers on eBay. If they aren’t straight up scammers, then you’ve got people like the guys who show pictures of bikini clad ladies or regular classic car dealers who know how to polish a turd better than the assistant curator of the museum of scatology…but this next car is sold by a seller with the user name…wait for it…fiero-phil. Yup. This guy is the real-deal…and he is so confident in his real-deal-ness that he doesn’t even include a single word in the body of the ebay ad…and I still like it. Impressive. Find this 1990 Buick Reatta bidding for $1600 in Coventry, RI with 2 days to go via eBay.

This next car comes as a tip from BP who writes: Definitely a unique vehicle but with all the work done to it vs the price makes the idea attractive. Maybe such a ranked driver but unique going into the future. Only one at ‘cofffee’ no doubt. Got that lovely 3.8l too. Find this 1990 Buick […]

The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk “Stealth Fighter” was operational as early as 1983 (with maiden demonstrator flights in 1977) but its existence wasn’t announced to the public until 1988. In a strange coincidence, GM’s Buick division released its own piece of advanced technology in ’88– a hand-built two seater with 4-corner independent suspension and an advanced […]

DailyTurismo Uncategorized 'Merican, Buick, FWD, Reatta 10

A few decades ago if you had $36k burning a hole in your Hammer pants, you could head over to your local Buick dealer and pickup a little convertible called to the Reatta. For $67k in today’s money you got something that was basically a 2-door Pontiac Grand Prix with more cowl shake than Shakira […]

Mid Week Match-Up: A $1K Car for Dr J

DailyTurismo Uncategorized Buick, Mid Week Match-Up, Reatta 23

Today’s Mid Week Match-Up is a request from our friend Dr J (aka Julian) — who you may remember from his time on the DT Radio Show. His son’s Mazda 626 just cashed in its chips for the last time, so with a healthy budget of 1,000 smackeroos and a short commute (2.5 miles), let’s […]

Re Atta Boy: 1990 Buick Reatta

DailyTurismo Uncategorized Buick, Reatta, Turkey 16

The current crop of press reviews of the recently accounted Buick Avista remind me of another Buick that was hailed as the next best thing since sliced beef. Back in the late 80s, folks raved about a new Buick coming to market that would bring back Buick’s mojo, and reinvent Buick. Of course we all […]
