STORY

The Reatta was Buick's two-seat luxury coupe and convertible, hand-assembled at a dedicated Reatta Craft Centre in Lansing, Michigan. Built on a shortened Riviera platform with the 3.8-liter V6, early cars featured a novel touchscreen CRT infotainment system that was dropped for 1990. Slow sales limited production to about 21,750 units before the model was cancelled in 1991.
