Here’s a very rare photo of a 1991 Buick Regal PPG Indy car never seen before. I don’t even know how many were even made because I never seen one before.

Thought I posted that first pic.

You posted the pic of the 91 International car for me a long time ago, remember?  I needed a reference photo for my misplaced DOHC fender badges on my car, it looks a lot like mine except for the grey interior and I can't tell if it has HUD or not.

You did, but I found a larger image so thought I would share. I do have a lot more different ones I need to scan from Buick division magazines with the rare photos of the regal on the Assembly line

I posted a different image about the HUD on the 88 Cutlass too

Fantastic!  I could look at these for hours and it really takes me back to a much better time.  Thank you for posting these!

I've been having a lot of fun picking out the W's in these pics.  Then seeing if any are International's or LQ1's, LOL!

Is that a black STE in the 8th pic from the bottom!!!  I think it is by the looks of the back right rim.

I was looking at that too, I can't see the trunk trim on it so I am thinking it's either a lower model with STE wheels or the directional wheels.

Maybe it's there but because it's a black car, not easy to see.  I really think it's an STE.

Thing is, you can clearly see the trunk lock. On an STE, it would be hidden by the trim?

Okay, this thread is for photos of W-body "back in the day" on dealer lots, on transport trucks, even vintage street scenes of when the early Ws were new even if they are in the background. I'd like to focus on first gens here but second gens are old enough to qualify. No recent pics please. To give some examples:

Jay looks like you need to fix this thread. What happened to most of the photos you post? Do you still have them cropped? That's why I crop the photos I find and save them. Just in case the posters delete them.

These are fantastic!  I particularly love the GP coupe, the Beretta, the Lumina Euro coupe!  Is that a Eurosport Celebrity or wagon or something? 

All these Sierra's remind me of when I came home one day and my dad had a brand new Indigo Blue/Silver 94 Silverado 4x4 Extended cab short box.  It didn't have the Z71 package but it had the blue cloth bucket seat/console interior.  350 with automatic.  It didn't have a rear bumper on it and I thought this was weird.  I mean, he just bought a brand new truck and it didn't even have a bumper!  He got one later on for it.  It was a really good truck for us over the 12 yrs he owned it.

I also vividly remember seeing the third brake light on the roof and thought that was so cool!  First time seeing these on the full size trucks was something back then!
