06/24/96

In an effort to show the auto buying public that Detroit automotive engineers are just as savvy as those in Stuttgart and Tokyo, the guys at Buick have a few new wrinkles for the 1997 Park Avenue and the supercharged Park Avenue Ultra. Not much to talk about in the way of styling changes, however. In the fall you will see:

	  Air bag deployment that unlocks doors in 15 seconds
	  New turbo-hydramatic transaxle
	  Magnetic variable rack and pinion steering
	  ComfortTemp climate control with adjustable rear set vents
	  Optional rain sensing window wipers
	  Highly visible head up display (on windshield) which shows gauges
	  Illuminated writing surface
	  Dual cup holders in front.
	  Nine speaker concert sound radio/CD
	  100,000 mile engine coolant system
