Rebirth of the American Super Boss Road

Buick Centry car series and Electra car series?

As an online article writer and a car fan, Li Hongfei's interest suddenly rose.

When Li Hongfei was writing online articles, he had consulted a lot of automotive information. He was actually no stranger to Buick’s Centry and Electra models. The current Centry model is actually Buick’s first-generation Regal, which is the first generation. The Centry's popularity prompted General Motors to invest more attention and funds into this car series, and eventually built this car series into Buick's flagship car series;

As for the Electra car series, many people may be unfamiliar with this car series, but this car series is actually very powerful: Buick's Boulevard series was born from the Electra car series.

Although the Boulevard car is not very popular in China, and the brand is not as high and recognized as BBA, in the United States, this car series is actually as good as BBA. With its spacious space and excellent power performance, it has become It is much more powerful than the car used by the Senate and the House of Representatives - it can become the car of a country's political leaders. The brand influence and mechanical quality of Boulevard are evident.

Now that he had the opportunity to touch the Buick Regal and Buick Boulevard from the 70s, Li Hongfei was immediately full of interest.

Taking Li Hongfei and Catherine to a corner of the exhibition area, Lance pointed to the cars in front of him and said to Li Hongfei: "Sir, the cars parked here are all models of the Buick Century series. Considering your usage scenarios, , I suggest you take a look at the four-door Century Regal first, which is the red one..."

Following the direction of Lance's finger, a light brown-red four-door car came into Li Hongfei's eyes. The wide body and "leather roof" design immediately aroused Li Hongfei's interest. He nodded and walked toward this car. He walked over and said to Lance: "Mr. Lance, please introduce this car to me."

"Okay, sir." Seeing that Li Hongfei seemed very interested in this Buick Regal, Lance immediately said, "The one you see is the top version, the Regal version of Century, equipped with a 162-horsepower engine. It has a 7.5-liter displacement V8 engine and soft and comfortable leather seats. The length of the car is 5.485 meters, the width is more than 2 meters, and the wheelbase is 2.945 meters. This size is considered too large for a mid-size sedan. Most importantly, this This car is equipped with almost all optional configurations, such as cruise control, high-fidelity audio system and car phone. These luxury configurations are all optional, which is very suitable for your daily use and long-distance travel..."

Speaking of this, Lance glanced at Li Hongfei and said, "You can get in the car and experience it. If you are interested in this car, I can arrange a test drive for you at any time."

Li Hongfei was a little dissatisfied. He frowned and said to Lance: "Why is there such a small space in the back of such a big car?"

It's not that Li Hongfei is complaining, it's that the rear space of this car is really small, with a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters, but the rear legroom is no different from that of an ordinary compact family car.

Of course, thanks to the wide seats, it will definitely be no problem for an adult to sit down, but if you want to get a lot of legroom, don’t even think about it. Lin Hongfei visually inspected that if he sat in the back, The legroom is only about 10 centimeters per punch at most.

Lance didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He shrugged and said, "That's normal. This is a family mid-level car targeted at high-income middle-class families. There are children in the back seat, so this space is enough."

"..."

Li Hongfei was speechless. He found that he had ignored that for the vast majority of middle-class American families, their back seats were reserved for children. If the rear space of this Buick Century was for children, it would indeed be enough. enough.

Lance continued: "Of course, if you need a car with more rear space, then I recommend you to take a look at the Electra. That car has a larger body size and a longer wheelbase. It is a Buick car. Among them, apart from those modified courtesy cars, it is the car with the largest wheelbase and the most spacious rear seat space. Of course, the price is also more expensive."

Li Hongfei nodded immediately: "Then go and have a look."

………………

Although he knew that the Buick Electra was a true full-size car, when he stood in front of this Buick Electralimited, Li Hongfei truly saw what an "American full-size car" is: a body size of 5928mm and a body width of more than 2100mm. And with a wheelbase of more than 3100mm, even if this car is just parked here, people can clearly feel the ultimate pursuit of "comfort" by Dai Laomei: this Electralimited appeared just for the pursuit of comfort.

Seeing that Li Hongfei seemed to be very interested in this car, Lance immediately introduced it: "The most iconic design of Electra is that although it is a large four-door sedan, it has a B-pillar-less design.

As for the configuration of this car, sir, this car is right in front of you. Needless to say, its status in the Buick brand family is the same as Fleetwood's status in the Cadillac family. They are both the top models. . "

Li Hongfei nodded. He fell in love with the Electra the first time he saw this car. What Li Hongfei likes most is that the rear space of this car is comparable to that of later generations of Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series. The space in the back seat is not much less generous.

Speaking of the Electra car series, many people may be unfamiliar with this car series, but this car's status in the Buick family is actually very high. This car was imported into China in small quantities in the 80s, and its Chinese name is Electra , is the top model in the Buick series, roughly equivalent to the S-Class in the Mercedes-Benz series.

Since it is the top model in the Buick series, the body size is naturally also the top. With its huge body size and weight of more than 2.5 tons, this car is a standard even in the United States where full-size cars are everywhere. It is a huge car, and the iconic B-pillar-less, or hidden B-pillar design similar to a four-door coupe makes this car particularly recognizable.

Li Hongfei, who liked it more and more the more he looked at it, asked Lance: "Mr. Lance, which is the top version of the Electra car series? Do you have it here?"

"It's the Park Avenue version," Lance said. "What a coincidence, our store actually has one."

"Park Avenue?" Li Hongfei was startled: "You are talking about..."

The name Park Avenue was somewhat familiar to him. If he remembered correctly, the English name of the Buick Boulevard that was introduced into the country in [-] was Park Avenue.

In addition, when it comes to Park Avenue, the most famous street in the United States and even the world is also called Park Avenue...
