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,
