Thread: Smetišča našli: 1984 Buick stoletja olimpijski naklada

Ja, GM je bil glavni sponzor ZDA olimpijsko medaljo na Poletnih olimpijskih igrah 1984 (ki so bojkotovao večina Varšavskega pakta kot maščevanje za Jimmy Carter in prijatelje, bojkot olimpijskih igrah 80 nad del XXIV v vojni v Afganistanu), kar je pomenilo, da lahko kupite na olimpijski naklada Buick stoletja to leto. Sem se preselil v Južni Kaliforniji, medtem ko 84 olimpijskih igrah so bili dogaja, ampak vse spomnim, o njih je bil moj prijatelj, ki je nacionalni novic z vožnjo pod vplivom alkohola več kot deset tisoč oranžne stožci, ustanovljen za kolo-cestno-dirko dogodek... v Orange County (zavlačuje začetek dogodka in zaslužek pet let vikend oranžno-telovnik-avtocesto-čiščenje carine) in pogled na vse te olimpijske stoletja izrinjali okoli z nizko stopnjo zaposlenih iger. Vsepovsod, tisti, ki je uspelo ostati na ulici za skoraj 30 let, pred nasedejo v Oakland samopostrežno dvorišče.
Nekakšen pozabljiv član pozabljiv 6000/slave/Ciera družine, vendar nas olimpijski ekipi badging je redka našli.
Im varen to olimpijske hood ornament je vredno vsaj več dolarjev danes.

Če kupec Buick je preveč poceni pomladi za palubi kaseto (kot ta avtomobilov je bil kupec), GM priložena kaseta vrata, zamenjal ploščo plastične blokirati radio. Slabo vse stavil, kasetni mehanizem je v mestu za to ploščo, preveč.
Zlato pinstripes.

Celo prvo leto po koncu slabo počutje Era je bil še vedno dokaj slabo počutje-y.

Yes, GM was a major sponsor of US Olympic athletes at the 1984 Summer Olympics (which were boycotted by most of the Warsaw Pact as payback for Jimmy Carter and friends boycotting the 80 Olympics over Part XXIV in the War In Afghanistan), which meant that you could buy an Olympic Edition Buick Century that year. I moved to Southern California while the 84 Olympics were going on, but all I remember about them was my friend who made the national news by drunk-driving over tens of thousands of orange cones set up for the bicycle-road-race event in Orange County (delaying the start of the event and earning five years of weekend orange-vest-freeway-cleanup duty)… and the sight of all these Olympic Centuries being driven around by low-level employees of the Games. Heres one that managed to stay on the street for nearly 30 years, before washing up in an Oakland self-service yard.
Sort of a forgettable member of the forgettable Celebrity/6000/Ciera family, but the US Olympic Team badging makes it a rare find.
Im sure this Olympic hood ornament is worth at least several dollars today.

If a Buick buyer was too cheap to spring for the cassette deck (as this cars buyer was), GM supplied a radio with the cassette door replaced by a plastic block-off plate. Ill bet all the cassette-deck mechanism is in place behind this plate, too.
Gold pinstripes.

Even the first year after the end of the Malaise Era was still fairly Malaise-y.
