For Sale at Auction: 1991 Buick Reatta in Auburn, Indiana

Vehicle Description

Introduced for the 1988 model year, the Buick Reatta represented a bold departure from General Motors' traditional production methods, blending advanced technology with a level of craftsmanship rarely seen in American cars of the era. Built at the specialized Reatta Craft Centre in Lansing, Michigan, each example was hand-assembled by a small team of skilled technicians, a process more akin to European coachbuilding than Detroit mass production. Conceived as a two-seat personal luxury coupe, and later convertible, the Reatta was designed to showcase Buick's ability to compete in a more exclusive, style-conscious market. Its clean, aerodynamic lines, short wheelbase, and front-wheel-drive layout gave it a distinctive presence, while its fully independent suspension delivered a refined yet responsive driving experience. By 1990, Buick introduced the long-awaited convertible variant, further elevating the model's appeal with open-air motoring and added exclusivity. With fewer than 22,000 Reattas produced across all years, and just a fraction as convertibles, the model remains a fascinating and underappreciated chapter in Buick's history. This 1991 Buick Reatta Convertible stands as a well-preserved example of that vision, presented in highly original condition with fewer than 8,000 miles from new and accompanied by a clean CARFAX� report. Finished in Arctic White over an optional Flame Red leather interior, the car perfectly captures the sophisticated, yet expressive character Buick intended. It has been preserved since its acquisition by the Collection at the 2004 Auburn Auction & Show and is accompanied by an array of original accessories, including its window sticker and complete Reatta leather portfolio, featuring manuals, a signed craftsman's log, tire pressure gauge, pen, and flashlight. Power comes from Buick's proven 3.8-liter V-6 engine paired with an automatic transmission with overdrive, offering smooth and effortless performance. Well-optioned with a 16-way power driver's seat and a premium sound system with compact disc player and graphic equalizer, this Reatta embodies the very definition of handcrafted American luxury at the dawn of the 1990s. * A like-new, all-original example
