These incredible cars were the top of their game in 1987 and they are still very impressive even today!


Buick was at the top of the performance pyramid in the mid to late 1980s due to the incredible success of models such as the Grand National, Regal, and GNX. The latter example of these fantastic vehicles is a trendy model. It combined the good looks of the performance mentioned above Grand Touring muscle cars with the Mclaren automotive group's power and performance. Under the hood sat the good ole 3.8-liter V6, which was an extremely potent engine for the time as it was already turbocharged in the regular Grand National production vehicles.
