1978 Buick Regal

This 1978 Buick Regal revels in a cool cruiser style. So you have an extra sleek exterior, subtly cool upgrades, a comfy A/C interior, and a distinct engine upgrade.

This was the first year for the new generation of Regal. They had a dignified look with the waterfall grille and well-contoured chrome bumpers. But the well-chiseled lines and hint of flared fenders also seem like no accident. Buick gave these a hint of sportier style as the Regal entered its turbo era. This one enhances that feeling further with tasteful upgrades. The badging on the body was deleted for a smoother style, and then the finish was upgraded to a deep blue with a good gloss. And we bet you also noticed details like the turbo hood and the GM N90 wheels that were on speedy Chevys like the Monte Carlo SS and Camaro Z/28.

Like a true Buick, the interior is about making everyone comfortable. So you have two wide rows of seats done in a plush cloth. And the driver gets a more individual style with details like the fold-down armrest and a tilt column. Those looking for perfection could use the value price to reinvest in carpeting, dash, or other fundamentals. But we like this car right now for not taking anything too seriously inside and out. It is more about being a proper cruiser. That's why you have nice upgrades like cold-bowing R134a air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth, and a full subwoofer speaker system.

Under the hood is a 3.8-liter V6. This was a later swap, and it makes this one quite interesting. After all, it's just a turbocharger away from being a T-type or Grand Nation tribute (remember, it even already has the turbo hood!) But you don't need to add anything to this package to enjoy this Buick. The V6 is a hardy motor with a smooth nature, and the newer exhaust makes this regal feel quite Regal. So it's a solid cruiser from day one. And you have good driving features like three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs.

This is a cool-looking Regal with a driver-ready and driver-quality style that just knows how to amplify and upgrade your favorite parts of a true cruiser. Call today!!!
