Browse this model's history and yearsHistory
The Park Avenue name began in 1975 as an appearance package on the Electra 225, became an Electra trim level in 1978, and was promoted to a standalone model for 1991 after the Electra was retired. It became Buick's front-wheel-drive C-body flagship.
Through two US generations it was a quiet, comfortable near-luxury sedan; the Park Avenue Ultra added a supercharged 3.8-liter V6. US production ended in 2005, after which the Lucerne took over the full-size flagship role. (The name later continued on a separate China-market sedan.)
