Yahoo Autos Junkyard Gem: 1992 Chevrolet Lumina Euro 3.4
Would you believe that after all those pushrod V6 engines powering GM vehicles for all those decades, only one remains available here? That's right, the LV1 4.3 used in the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana work vans, a descendant of the good old small-block-V8-derived Chevrolet V6, is the last pushrod V6 standing in the GM universe (not counting crate motors, of course). Back in the early 1990s, however, The General was just beginning to bolt overhead-cam V6s into new cars. The very first one was the 3.4-liter LQ1, which went under the hoods of high-end Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes, Pontiac Grand Prix and Chevrolet Luminas starting with the 1991 model year. Here's one of those groundbreaking DOHC V6 cars, found in a self-service car graveyard in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Rad Era was still in full swing by 1992, and so this car is covered with red-and-white badges and striping. It would have fit right in at Santa's Workshop.
Pontiac was on board with the rad candy-cane-badging look as well.
