From AutocadeThe Park Avenue name began as a luxury variant of Buick’s range-topping sedan, the Electra, in 1975, but became its own model line in 1991. The original Park Avenues were on GM’s front-wheel-drive C-platform, with an attractive body shape supposedly inspired by a the Buick Park Avenue Essence show car of 1989. A second-generation model in 1997 became the top Buick after the demise of the Roadmaster, and was built until the 2005 model year—the last Buick to have a hood ornament. The name, however, lives on in Red China, where the Buick brand is highly regarded, adorning a locally assembled Holden Statesman, albeit with some styling differences—different enough to warrant an entry separate from its Australian counterpart. As with the US, the Chinese Park Avenue is Buick’s top model.
