I question wither the '91 or later model ever came "with the fender skirts that adorn the rear tires." The wheel cutout was fairly low on this body and was straight on top to align with the bodyside molding, but I feel certain there was never one with an actual skirt fitted.

I removed a reference to the supposed "slaughter of 1997", as the article created on that subject was previously deleted as unverifiable material.-Colin Kimbrell 15:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photo
Any chance of a better photo for this article? The present photo depicts a dirty car and is coupled with a highly unattractive background. How about a nice clean car in a park setting?--207.161.0.237 20:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 1979 Olds
This article lists the sixth-gen as a 4-door. Below is a picture of my 1979 2-door Regency. This particular car had the 403 cu-in V-8 with the trailering package with heavy duty suspension and posi-traction differential. It used to pull a quite large camper and did an incredible job. I miss that car. It had more interior space than today's full size SUV's (minus the third row) and the trunk was a cavern.
This picture was taken in 1992 before I sold the car. It had almost 100k miles and still ran perfect. As you can see it was starting to rust though.
- You are of course exactly right. There were coupes all through the first downsized generation, and in fact there was a coupe version of the first front-drive version, although it only lasted a couple of years--I think '85 & '86. A two-door '85 or '86 98 or Buick Electra is a VERY rare car. RivGuySC 02:37, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
