Looking for a big, comfy car that pampers you and your passengers in the style to which you are, or would like to become accustomed? Look at the new Buick Park Avenue. Buick has redesigned their 1997 flagship sedan giving it a stylish new appearance and upgrading its structural integrity. The new standard model Park Avenue and the upscale Ultra edition both sport a classy, albeit massive, look. Both retain the car's traditional interior roominess and excellent accommodations.

Our test car was the Ultra model, a large, luxurious automobile that catered to driving and riding comfort with ten different seating positions available with the touch of a button.
