Buick launched the Park Avenue model in 1991 after its initial release as the premium LeSabre version. This event officially started a new chapter for Buick luxury sedan production. As a platform vehicle the Buick Park Avenue utilized an H platform which during its original period included a 3.8-liter V6 engine from the 3800 series. The model received a significant structure overhaul in 1997 when it joined the H platform that improved its driving performance and strength characteristics. Buick integrated the updated four-speed 4T65-E transmission as the new transmission system in this iteration maintaining the 3.8-liter engine displacement while improving both acceleration and responsiveness. Buick designers made various updates to the Park Avenue leading to modern headlights and grille refinements alongside smoother body shapes. Standard leather upholstery became mandatory for all Park Avenue vehicles in the 2001 model year and the Ultra version further added rear parking assistance features. The year 2003 brought new 17-inch wheels together with a rear redesign which provided a complete modernization of the vehicle. The production schedule of the Buick Park Avenue dedicated itself to authentic Buick Park Avenue components to guarantee owners could preserve the vehicle's performance and dependability. OEM parts from Buick use top quality materials that demonstrate reliability and durability therefore they represent a sound selection for maintaining the Buick Park Avenue.
