If it is about fun do for everyday use, it is always about European luxury cars from the years ’80 and ’90. A pity, because these three Americans to do it piece by piece excellent as daily drivers.
Today, there are no nimble sports cars to the weekend with beats, but a number of very affordable American cruisers which were during the week a lot more enjoyable. No, for curves, these American sleds are not made, but due to their lazy engines and conventional vending machines, the computer is usually quite a long time.
Buick Park Avenue
The Park Avenue of the first-generation (1991 to 1996) you can see in our country still regularly drive and sale. The car was in our country then also just sold and was only to get with a 185 hp 3.8 V6 in combination with an old-fashioned viertraps automatic transmission. Looks for an American from the early 90s, and especially for a Buick is still quite stylish. The interior is classic American, with huge armchairs, a lot of plastic, and of course stuurversnelling. For less than 1000 euros you find there is already one on ebay, for two to three mille’ll buy you a whole neat.
Chrysler 300M
The Park Avenue was still a real American of the old stamp, the 300M comes clearly from a different era. The car is designed under the Cab Forward principle, where the passengers further forward than usual. This to interior – and luggage space as large as possible. Although the 300M is a bit smaller than the Park Avenue, meet the car is still a spacious five metres. To all that tin and plastic in motion, you could choose from a 2.7 V6 with 203 hp or a 3.5 V6 with 254 hp. A viertrapsautomaat was standard, and in terms of consumption, it doesn’t matter what motorization you buy. In terms of speed, the 3.5 is noticeably a bit smoother. Prices start at one and a half mille and walk on until six mille for a 3.5 V6 with very low mileage.
Cadillac Seville (4th and 5th generation)
Many of you will this car may immediately link to Lee Towers, which there are multiple destroying. Think that Rotterdam-based singer and his golden microphone away and what remains is a quite beautiful and timeless sedan. Certainly the fifth generation, which from 1998 was for sale, the looks are still quite fresh. Under the hood is always that very and oerbetrouwbare Northstar V8 engine, again linked to an automatic controlled gearbox. 279 (SLS) or 305 hp (STS) is also pretty potent. The latter moved to milan in less than 7 seconds to the hundred. That you just any seven kilometer litertje peut verstookt, of course, is the reverse of the medal. Prices start already the two mille to about six mille for a very nice.
Other options
Of course, there are many more Americans that are good to borrow as youngtimer for daily use. However most are in small numbers sold and therefore the supply is also small. For example, think of the delicious wrong Chrysler New Yorker (see photo), Buick Roadmaster or Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. Budgetrijders can from their roof to go with a Chrysler LeBaron Convertible, or for a dime on the first rank to sit with a Corsica, Beretta, Neon or Cirrus, all of which, of course, long as fun is not when the above options.
