Cargirl Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) My new (for me ) 1991 Reatta Convertible, white with white body moldings, flame red interior, select 60 style rims ordered as an option for $100, cassette deck. factory CD player with graphic equalizer, original window sticker, build sheet and folio. Loving taken care of by prior owners and it has now found it's forever home. I just registered it today with the DMV and the non-special order plate has my initials on it "BJK." What are the chances? I call it fate. Edited January 21, 2015 by Cargirl (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCReatta Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That car looks rather similar to my '91 convertible. Where did you get this car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nittany Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Brenda,That's a gorgeous car!! Congratulations on finding your "forever Reatta", there is something special about a '91 vert!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cargirl Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Really Nice Marck, beauty! My car was in FLA for some of it's life and I got her in Cali. Did your rims come with the car or did you add them later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dan Ogle Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Very nice, I've never seen one without the pinstripes.Looks really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cargirl Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks Nittany. Love your color combo with the black top, wow! I spy with my little eye dual exhaust as well. I wish you were an engineer with Buick division in 1991, I like it lots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cargirl Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I almost bought a 1990 white/red vert and it had pinstripes. When it fell thru this one ended up in my lap. I was unsure about not having red pinstripes on the car but now that I see it in person, I am sold. I love pinstripes a lot but now I also like the clean look of no stripes with white body molding. When I first started I would have prefered black molding and stripes, go figure?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Very Nice, I was going to comment on it's similarity to Marck's but I see he already did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDirk Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Well, I hate to say I'm jealous. But I'm jealous. That said, you scored a true prize there. You'd have been hard pressed to find one nicer I imagine. Congratsulation are in order. Now you just need nice weather to truly enjoy it.KDirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PontiacDude210 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Wow! That's a really clean car! The body color molding looks really nice with the pinstripe delete option. The wheels just tie the whole thing together nicely. Flame red is a cool interior color. Have fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Interesting announcement document, probably sent to me by Tom Payette (former Buick Select Sixty dealer in Louisville)The '91 Reatta was announced in August but they did not build the first production '91 Reattas until the last week of November 1990 (roughly 13 weeks later) Dan Herold, a line employee that was on the Reatta program from beginning to end said the laid everyone off for that period of time.

NCReatta Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Brenda, I painted mine white when I did the restoration last fall. Your car is exactly what I made mine to be, just from the factory! I also added dual 16 way seats and a white cloth top. Just some more things to make a one of a kind car even more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cargirl Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks guys for sharing your photo's, very nice indeed. I took a nice long drive with the top down yesterday and what a joy to drive. It handles like a dream and has such great manners. I don't know if it's the gran touring suspension or 16 inch rims but it drives differently than any car I have owned. The Buick Reatta is more than just another pretty face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flacko9091 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Nice '91 Reatta vert cargirl! I've owned 13 Cadillac Allantes over the years (including one of every year). I've owned an '85 Eldo vert and an '89 Eldo vert that was one of twelve conversions done. I own a '88 Mercedes 560SL vert (competition to the Allante and Reatta) which I have just sold and waiting on new owner to pickup. Three months ago I purchased my first '90 Reatta vert (nice driver 128k miles white/burgandy). Finally, I just purchased the red/tan '91 Reatta vert with 37k miles that was recently for sale in AZ. Waiting on delivery.I believe I'm probably the only person to simultaneously own the triple treat so to speak....an '88 Mercedes 560SL, a '91 Cadillac Allante and a '90 Buick Reatta convertible.

Cargirl Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Nice trio of cars, very impressive!! Wow, I noticed that absolute beauty disappear from Craigslist recently and wondered who bought it. What a fantastic car, it looks great. Congratulations on the purchase and when it gets home, posts some photo's. I love my 1991 Eldorado, it's my daily driver and is an exceptional car. I love your taste in cars Edited August 15, 2015 by Cargirl (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flacko9091 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Not sure why a couple of the pics I posted are turned 90 degrees. Is there a way to correct that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
