Well the first generation of the Buick Park Avenue was between 1991 and 1996. General Motors was the maker and it was sold by the Buick division. This is a full size car that came from the previous idea in the Buick Electra until it made a name for itself in 1991. They were usually equipped with a 3.9 L 3800 Series V6 with special options that included the supercharged version that came along in 1992. The super charged model has some great acceleration even though it was so big.
