1990 Buick Reatta Convertible

1990 Buick Reatta Convertible

The Buick Reatta was originally penned as a two-seat sports car for Buick.  After much contemplation and focus on the brand’s buyers, it was decided to come out with an older luxury minded buyer’s car, with front wheel drive, a 2-door coupe, comfortable interior and soft ride.  Today the Reatta stands out for its ”futuristic”, (at the time), styling and driver interface.  It was one of the least expensive handmade modern cars produced at the Lansing Craft Center, with each car including a ”craftsman’s log” of its builders.

For consignment, from a passionate about Reattas consignor, this well cared for example is all original and is now like showroom new, and with only 2,132 convertibles built in ’90...it’s somewhat rare.  This 40,402 title verified mile car is also equipped with the 2 options available for this year, a CD player, and a 16, (yes count ’em... 16), way driver’s power seat.  Lots of conveniences, a sporty look, and a comfortable ride are just a few of its many assets.

Exterior

Bathed in its original Black paint, it is holding up very nicely and with no rust.  A low mileage car helps a bit too, and this one is just fab!  Hidden halogen headlights and a clean all working tan canvas convertible top, this aerodynamic 2-seater can be a pleasure to drive.  A gold accent pinstripe, and some 3-dimensional moldings just below the belt line with a chrome thin topper both race around this rounded car to create some highlight on the black.  15-inch aluminum wheels are on all 4 corners and are wrapped in like new 215/65R15 rubber.

Interior

Saddle leather buckets are nice and comfortable and sit in a very clean and well-preserved interior.  Plenty of conveniences surround these seats including the actual driver’s seat with 16-way adjustable power controls.  Other features are a keyless entry, power windows, power steering, power door locks, cruise control, tilt steering and a rear window defogger.  Even an AM/FM/CD player is installed.  The dash, center console, and door panels are all original equipment and are all like they just left the showroom.  Speaking of the dash, it sports nifty vacuum-fluorescent gauge displays and a blue LCD mileage readout.  Tan carpeting covers the floors, and a built in tonneau cover automatically covers the downed top.  A shout out to the trunk which is also well preserved, very clean and has room for 2 golf bags.

Drivetrain

Under the hood is a 3.8 liter V6 which is horizontally opposed and is fed fossils with EFI.  A 4T60 4-speed automatic transmission is on back sending power to the 2.97 geared front axle, and this drive train is certainly all original.

Undercarriage

All clean and just a few scrapes of the undercoating seen, however no rust, surface or otherwise.  It is equipped with grand touring suspension, which is independent coil springs upfront, and independent with transflex leaf suspension on back.  Power disc brakes are all around and the exhaust appears to be OEM original. 

Drive-Ability

A quick starter, and a smooth ride, (one would expect a sports car ride, but not this car...all luxury ride), good handling and bias free panic braking.  All functions were working well including the A/C which kept me nice and chilly during this early July heatwave.  Just an A-1 sport luxury ride!

Some documentation and swag that came with this original car, (car dealers would promise and include anything save for a toaster to sell cars in the early 90’s!).  Plenty of convenience options, and a power convertible top.  A fully functional example of a well kept car, and it shows nearly as showroom quality.  A semi-rare collectible with a 3 year run, and no rust.  Comfort never looked so sporty.  Sportiness never was so comfortable, but hey!  It’s a Buick.
