F or those of you who don't know, the
Buick Reatta is a
luxurious sports coupe that was produced at the Reatta Craft Centre in
Lansing, Michigan and sold by the Buick division of American automaker
General Motors from early 1988 to 1991. The Reatta sported its own
unique body style. Each one was hand-made with an attention to detail
and quality of finish uncommon for a mass-produced automobile.
They were marketed as a "Hand Crafted Car."
Instead of the usual moving assembly line, GM organized its work
force into small teams. Workers performed dozens of tasks on
the cars at various locations known as "Craft Stations,"
within the plant. The cars were carried between locations by
computer-guided carts.
The Reatta was the most expensive Buick made at the time. The car did not sell well because of the expensive price
tag. Buick ceased production at the end of the 1991 model year.
Because of the unique capabilities of the Reatta Craft Center,
the plant has been renamed and is now called the Lansing Craft
Center.
For power the Reatta has a 3.8 Litre V6-165 horsepower sequential
fuel injection engine and a four speed automatic transmission
with front wheel drive. Almost all power and luxury options Buick had
to offer were standard equipment on the Reatta.
