Really sharp looking Buick.


GM was really on a smooth elegant design roll in the early 90s. I think the Olds Aurora was the supreme statement and I'd snap one up if it ever comes along. It was GM brought back the idea of a 'floating' roof, wrap around glass greenhouse and flush glass seams. I had the Saturn SW2 wagon with all plastic panels including the roof and loved the sheer volume of usuable space inside.

In 1998 I rewarded myself with a Subaru Legacy GT Limited in cranberry black for the same design reasons - the frameless windows bring back memories of Dad's 4 door Impalla hardtop. There's something practical about opening a door with no upper frame to bang into. And oh yeah, up here in the canadian winter boonies 4 wheel drive guarantees you'll keep moving while others park in the ditches.

Back to thread...Still driving the GT and having regularly kept it clean and vacuumed and in the garage it still turns heads.

I've selected a different vacuum this summer each time I clean out the car or the boat. Its how the neighbors cottened on to the idea I collect 'em. :-)

Truly you want lots of strong suction and a long supple hose. Now the favorites are the Filter Queen, either the Air-Way 66 or 77, and Electrolux Z89 and E. I find a power nozzle is not all that effective on sand in the boat so I'm down on hands & knees scrubbing with the upholstery nozzle and the crevice tool. Now, in the car, a dusting brush makes quick work of the dashboard vents & knobs.

Hooray for clean car interiors - makes the car run better, too, don't ya notice? :-)
