Gotta love that quality 80s GM fit and finish!

And that Regal is very oddly equipped.  Bench seat, manual locks and windows, no rear reading lights.....but it has alloy wheels. 

Then there is this:

That cluster must be from a pre-production vehicle, as the tach was never red like that on any of the production ones.  My old 88 Regal was a November 87 build, and the tach was green like the rest of the cluster.

I saw that as well.  From what I have found, the original air date of that episode was the week of October 7th, 1987.  Highly likely that those are pre-production Cutlasses that were filmed. The Regal footage is likely a production model since they were the first to go on sale in October. That Regal digital dash footage has to be from a pre-production car though.  Either that, or GM made a production change extremely early in the product run to change the tach from red/orange to green.

When I first saw this I was wondering why this logo was placed on the door handle.

I never used that feature in either of my first gens.

What they liked the best:  The brakes.

What folks complain about the most on this site:  The brakes.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:  The biggest problem with Gen 1 brakes is not the brakes per se, it's the brake booster.
