gr8scott Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Had this car for 14 years, had brakes worked on, air conditioner replaced, and a few gaskets here and here. I'm 82, so I expect it to outlast me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Let's face it, Reatta Red was a great color. Its the most common color but still the best color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a similar observation last summer with three different Reattas sitting side by side, my grandsons '89 with approx. 175k miles, my sons '89 with over 315k and my '90 at 142k. Mine hasn't seen a winter since 1994, but the other two did year around duty. My sons car was clearly and noticeably lower overall, without measuring, and sat very flat. My grandsons is essentially the same as mine overall, but with a bit less tail high rake. Mine was definitely higher overall with a somewhat pronounced tail high rake to it. Measuring the tire to wheel arch clearance showed the high mileage car to be 3/4" lower in front and 1.5" lower at the rear than my car. As an aside, I noted years ago in the FSM, that the sibling Riviera has lower overall ride height dimensions than the Reatta, which made me wonder why or how that was done? The Rivieras do have automatic load leveling, so perhaps softer suspension pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
