Built on December 11, 1987, this 1987 Buick Grand National has a
significant place in history. As the very last Grand National
built, this car marked the end of General Motor's mid-size
rear-wheel-drive G Platform. It also marked the closing of GM's
Pontiac, MI, assembly plant, which had been responsible for
producing millions of cars since it first opened in 1927. This
Grand National was the final car to leave the assembly line and it
features unprecedented levels of photo and video documentation. A
GM film crew captured the car's final assembly and the emotional
line workers who autographed their names on the engine and
throughout the undercarriage as they installed their part for the
final time. As the Buick progressed down the assembly line, the
workers decorated it with signs reading, "Built by the Best" and
"The End," and both signs are included in the sale. Designating it
is the final Grand National, Buick applied an additional badge to
the car's header panel, just above the passenger side headlight
assembly. The car was prominently displayed by Buick at the 2003
Buick Centennial in Flint, MI, and starred in the 2012 film "BLACK
AIR: The Buick Grand National Documentary." The car has been
perfectly preserved in its climate-controlled "bedroom" in
Louisiana. It still wears the original Window Sticker that says,
"The Last Grand National," and all the factory-installed interior
plastic is still in place. The car is also signed by Lloyd and Mark
Reuss, the former and current presidents of General Motors. The
Buick has 33 miles (mileage not indicated on the title) and is
powered by a turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine mated to a 4-speed
automatic transmission.
