Lee Kalka Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thanks, Ronnie. I'm so very excited about this. It's in great shape. Has a few little blips, but not really anything horrendous. It did come with the owner's manual. That really surprised me. Have a lot to learn about it. Mainly raising and lowering the manual top as that really isn't covered in the owner's manual. Just the power top, but I think I'll be able to figure it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I agree very nice convertable. In my opinion a true indication of a pampered car is the front cornering lense. Clear ones mean a garaged well taken care of car. Good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin M Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 So far this is the only picture of my Reatta. Just picked her up yesterday. 91 with a bit under 47k. CD player no other options. And I love it so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dship Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Attended a local cruise-in in southeastern MA this evening. Besides my '91 Reatta, there were two other Buicks...somewhat unusual as there is normally only mine. Did see one of my all-time favorites...an Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII in British Racing Green! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real nice cars. I have 2 questions, where did you get the steering wheel cover with the Buick logo. And. When you put your window up or down the stickers don't get peeled off?

dship Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Got the “Buick” steering wheel cover on eBay a few years ago. I’ve never had any problems with the stickers peeling off when lowering or rising the windows of any of my cars that have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVES89 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Those are great looking wheels Ronnie! I also like the "blacked out" grill. Maybe I should do that to the Red... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cargirl Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Sometimes you just get lucky and take a photo that really nails it. I took this last night at a local Scottsdale show and shine. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin M Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hit 47000 yesterday. Got a lot of comments at Saturday’s cruise night. One was “ that’s the most interesting car I’ve seen in at least 20 years, and I’ve been around cars since the 50s”. So that’s nice. I think I also convinced one guy to buy one too. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing catches your eye like a red 2-seater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it looks a lot better that way than with the hood open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRJBUICK Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Went to a local all make car show with some chapter members today. It was a charity event for the John Theissen Children's Foundation. Got quite exciting when the Football player signing autographs was Ottis Anderson, Superbowl MVP in 1991 who received a 1991 red Reatta conv. from Buick. He came over to my car and was thrilled to see one just like the one he received in '91. Pretty cool day 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nittany Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Ronnie - That's a neat background for a beautiful Buick!! Also, seems like a great time to acknowledge your contribution (from someone that has been here 1500 days longer than you); I think darn near everyone who has ever searched the Internet for help on their cool little two seater from Buick has run into one of your posts, your Reatta Owners Journal or this forum. From the bottom of my heart and I think I speak for a majority of the other members, THANK YOU for the TIME you have put into all things Reatta related, THANK YOU for the TALENT you have demonstrated in combining all the collective solutions into one resource for us Reattaphiles, and THANK YOU for you generous contribution of TREASURE which is a funny way of saying that you have taken money out of your own pocket to build and maintain the ROJ. So Ronnie, thank you for all the Time Talent and Treasure you have contributed to the cause, it is greatly appreciated!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Nittany, I'm glad that you liked the photo. Thanks for your kindhearted words. I don't know that I deserve it all but I do appreciate it. Thank you and all the other members who have stuck with this forum at a time when so many people are leaving.

RichardSwave Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 This is the Best Picture I have taken of my 1988 Buick Reatta before it broke down on me about 2 years ago. I've been having some electrical issues with it for a while so as of right now I got it sitting at a mechanic shop. they just replaced the starter on it for the sencond time, the speedometer doesn't turn on sometimes I don't know why but the car is back up and running. I cracked the 20" rims you see on this picture so I just purchased a new set of 18" aftermarket rims and tires. I had also lost all the keys for it 🤕 so I bought a new ignition cylinder & new locks for the doors. Sadly since it has been sitting in my driveway for almost 2 years 😞 the clear coat has pealed off on certain areas but the car still looks stunning. I will keep you guys updated and post new pictures of it as soon as I get chance to put the new rims on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardSwave Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Btw I Love this Car, I've been offered many times to sell it! even while it was broken down! & I have declined them all. even through I'm going through a financial decline i have never had the thought of selling my Reatta. I will keep this car, I will restore this car and I will continue to love this car, for as long as I can. Now it needs alot of work done on it but I'd be sad if I sold it & saw someone else driving my car.

Ronnie Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) This photo was taken at historic Fort Southwest Point (in the background - now partially reconstructed) that sits on a hill overlooking the forks of the Tennessee and Clinch Rivers. It once was the last point of civilization heading west before you crossed the Tennessee River into Cherokee Indian territory. It's said that it was built to protect the white man from the Indians but latter it was used to protect the Indians from the white men who wanted to take their land. It's ironic how things can change over time. Edited April 29, 2019 by Ronnie (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chieftom Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Headed back to Michigan and my Red/Tan tucked away in the garage for the winter. Hope she responds as she usually does, pop the battery in and she fires right up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
