    Thanks again, Revo!

    Honestly, I feel as though there's a part of me that feels a little older on the inside.

    I've had the pleasure of driving my grandmother's 1st generation (1st 2 pics,) and my mothers 2nd generation Park avenue Ultra (the supercharged variant with sportier suspension.) The 1st gen was a horrible car to drive, but a wonderful car to ride in. BB's description of a cloud is dead on. There was no comparison to my mother's Ultra. The Supercharged V6 was plenty fast by 1990s standards. I doubt there has ever been a full size FWD American car that could rival its handling prowess. It was very reliable and I always thought it was an attractive design.

    why is it that with american cars, they can't do "big" without doing "grandparent" at the same time

    Well they seem to have learned their way though.

    The Charger, 300 or G8 don't have that bad of an image, do they?

    Negative - The Buick Royaum I believe is what they call the Statesman.

    In 2007 the Buick Royaum was replaced by a new model based on the WM Statesman that does wear the Park Avenue name.

    Picture attached is not of the best quality; are there any other high-res shots of the Chinese Park Avenue available?
