Craft Center in Lansing, Michigan. It is finished in a great color combination: Artic White exterior, White

Catalog.) Includes Leather-Bound Owner’s Portfolio, Signed Craftman’s Log, Pen, Penlight and Tire Gauge, etc,
complete in perfect condition.
Features: The 1991 Reattas differ substantially from the 1990 model year, with only 305 Convertibles produced and
many new innovations. The Engine was upgraded to the 170HP L-27 Tuned Port V-6 and the Automatic Transmission to a
4T60-E, Electronically Controlled by the PCM to manage Engine power and torque. The addition of 16-inch Wheels,
wider Tires, a new Bosch ABS Braking System, revised Frame Bracing for added rigidity, etc., which all contribute
to a safer and better handling car. Twilight Sentinel was introduced to control Automatic Headlamps and exterior
Lighting. A Cup Holder in the Center Console, and Power Pull Down for the Convertible Top Rear Bow were added.
There were only two options, a CD player and 16- way adjustable Driver’s Seat, with Lumbar and Head Rest. This
Reatta has both Options.

had to offer were Standard Equipment on the Reatta.

History: The Reatta was a limited production luxury sports car, carefully hand-crafted by Buick Division of GM at
the Reatta Craft Center in Lansing, Michigan, introduced in 1988, ending production in 1991. The 1991 model year
was extremely limited with only 305 Reatta Convertibles produced, with estimated Sales of only 238 offered to the
public and perhaps 46 more to GM Execs, which makes this 1991 Reatta Convertible rare and very collectible!
