David E. Davis Was Wrong

He said the A-bodies would be the most successful GM cars ever. Why was he wrong?

Buick Century 1.5 — Chocolate velvet on the inside

No v. 1.0 models exist any longer. There are plenty of 1.5s like this – well, more than zero – and you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a 2.0. Still, Cadillac Escalade. Boom, roasted.
This? AYFKM? Yellow on the outside, brown on the inside? Bizarro world dog turd is what that color combination is.

Nevermind that Papa Don drove one like this – he got the employee discount, or, more likely, they paid him to take this shitbox.
Nevermind too, that Phid introduced me to the song Delirious in the 1982 version of this car.

They were handy for CMU road trips. I’ll give them that.

What to drive

to CMU on a fraternity roadtrip. A 1987 Buick Century, obvs. Just don’t mention that mysterious dent that showed up Sunday morning.
