====1970s==== The 1970s saw a number of new models added to the Buick lineup including the Estate Wagon as its own model in 1970, [[Buick Centurion|Centurion]] in 1971, [[Buick Apollo|Apollo]] in 1973, and [[Buick Skyhawk|Skyhawk]] in 1975. 1975 also saw the first appearance of the "[[Buick Park Avenue|Park Avenue]]" nameplate for Buick as a trim/option package on the Electra 225 Limited. A Buick Century paced the Indianapolis 500 race not once but twice in the mid-1970s. In 1976, Buick began selling rebadged [[Isuzu Gemini]]s as Opels to replace the Opel Kadett models it had previously marketed. The following year, Electra 225 and LeSabre were redesigned and downsized, and the Buick brand saw its best model year sales to date with 773,313 vehicles sold. 1978 marked Buick's 75th anniversary and welcomed a redesigned Century as well as a redesigned Regal coupe which was now available with a turbocharged [[Buick V6 engine|V6]] engine. Buick model year sales broke another record in 1978 with 795,316 vehicles sold. In 1979, the Riviera was redesigned; Riviera S-Type was named Motor Trend Car of the Year. <gallery caption="1980sβ1990s"> File:Buick Skylark (5011365230).jpg|1980 [[Buick Skylark]] File:1982 Buick LeSabre Limited diesel sedan front.jpg|1982 [[Buick LeSabre]] Limited File:1984 Riviera convertible.jpg|1984 [[Buick Riviera]] File:Blue Buick Electra.jpg|1985 [[Buick Electra]] Park Avenue File:Buick Somerset.jpg|1986 [[Buick Somerset]] File:1987 Buick Regal Grand National, front left (2022 Back to the 50's Weekend).jpg|1987 [[Buick Regal#Grand National, Turbo-T and T-Type|Buick Regal Grand National]] File:1987 Buick SkyHawk Custom.jpg|1987 [[Buick Skyhawk]] Custom File:1988 Buick Reatta, front left.jpg|1988 [[Buick Reatta]] File:Buick Roadmaster -- 04-22-2010.jpg|1992 [[Buick Roadmaster]] Limited File:94-96 Buick Century Wagon.jpg|1994 [[Buick Century]] Estate File:1996-1998 Buick Skylark.jpg|1996 [[Buick Skylark]] File:Buick Park Avenue -- 01-07-2012.jpg|1997 [[Buick Park Avenue]] File:1999 Buick Riviera.jpg|1999 [[Buick Riviera]] </gallery>
