I agree! I owned an '84 Supreme Brougham w/o vinyl top. The original owner wanted the 442, but wanted a bench seat which wasn't available with the 442. She loaded the Brougham with options, including the gauge package. What a great car! It was one of the best "cruisers" I ever owned. It would have been my choice when new.

My choice: 1984 T-Bird Turbo Coupe, 5-speed. I replaced it with a 1990 Supercoupe.

Buick Grand National. I had a new '84 Regal T-Type with the turbo V6 and it was great! Burgundy with gray interior, it was gorgeous and quick, too.

If I had the chance to do it over again, though, I'd go for the GN.

In 1984 I was 21 and fit this scenario.... and a T/A 5.0 HO was what I bought. Those ground....

...effects were killer back then! With the tops off, the car garnered much attention and many dates! But it truly was "all show, no go." The 305 HO V-8 had only 190hp and a speedo that went to 85mph....and the car started to rattle and fall apart by 1987.

I drove it for five years then stored it for 10 more. I eventually grew out of that "boy-racer" look and sold it (..at it's lowest re-sale value...should've sold it after 5 years...what a dumb ass!)
