Our Take:
- The 1988 Buick Reatta holds a special place in automotive history as Buick's bold attempt at crafting a personal luxury coupe with a futuristic flair. When you think about it, the Reatta was a bit of an outlier—like a luxury spaceship from Detroit, ahead of its time with its integrated touch-screen display (the Electronic Control Center) that operated climate, audio, and trip computer functions. It's fascinating how this feature foreshadowed the tech-heavy interiors we see in cars today.
- Produced for a brief four years, from 1988 to 1991, the Reatta was hand-built at the Reatta Craft Centre in Lansing, Michigan. This meticulous production process—much like crafting a fine watch—meant fewer units saw the light of day compared to mass-produced models, lending it a certain rarity. In this era of mass manufacture, knowing each Reatta received such personal attention might make you appreciate its uniqueness even more.
- Under the hood, you'll find the stalwart 3.8-liter V6 engine—a workhorse that powered many GM vehicles and is known for its durability. Despite its luxury focus, this powertrain provided reliable performance, making it more than just a pretty face. It's like finding out your graceful ballroom dancer also excels at running marathons—a delightful surprise!
- While this particular Reatta has a few quirks, like a non-functional parking brake and some BCM or ECM troubles, it's worth noting that these electronic issues reflect the car's pioneering spirit—attempting to integrate advanced tech well before it was commonplace. For a car enthusiast with a penchant for '80s nostalgia and a knack for tinkering, diving into the world of early automotive tech could be quite the rewarding challenge.
