1997 Buick Park Avenue Ultra Test Drive

Freshly descended from the front drive Riviera platform, the Park Avenue and Park Avenue Ultra provided new found room, luxury, and style for full-size sedan aficionados. A far more rigid body structure and rubber isolated front and rear subframes net a substantial improvement in interior quiet and ride quality. Inside, the completely new interior coddled you in seats crafted by the Buick Seat Comfort Team, while automatic dual zone climate control kept you at the perfect serving temperature. About the only thing that wasn’t new was the engines, and they were just fine to start with . The Park Avenue had a torque 205 horse 3800 Series II, and the opulent Ultra got the 240 horse supercharged version.
