The 81K miles are ORIGINAL: Dad was a GM executive who bought and sold a new car annually and Mom never drove. I drove it on visits to Chicago and 3-4K miles/year for 10 years as Mom's caregiver. She rode to appointments in style before she passed away. I recentlypurchased a minivan which better suitsmy lifestyle and need the garage space!The Buick hasbeen garagekeptfor46 years; however, the caris too long to close the garage door so the trunk areawas exposed to more weatherthan other areas.Its been serviced by two mechanics (the first one retired). NADA.com suggests a value of $3600.The hardtop model has nobulky post between the front and rear windows. I hope the new owner gives it as much TLC as we did and will send photos ifhe/sherestores it.
