“The Last Grand National”

SCOTTSDALE 2022
.
Built on Dec. 11, 1987, this car marked the end of General Motor’s mid-size rear-wheel-drive G Platform and the closing of GM’s Pontiac, MI, assembly plant.
It was purchased by Buick dealership owner Bob Colvin, who prominently displayed it in a specially made 23-by-13-foot climate-controlled “bedroom” at his house.
With only 33 miles and powered by a turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, it still wears the original Window Sticker that says, “The Last Grand National,” and all the factory-installed interior plastic is still in place.
This black beauty with gray interior has unprecedented levels of photo and video documentation.
A GM film crew captured the car’s final assembly and the emotional line workers who autographed their names on the engine and throughout the undercarriage as each installed his or her part for the final time.
As the Buick progressed down the assembly line, the workers decorated it with signs reading, “Built by the Best” and “The End,” and both signs are included in the sale.
Designating it is the final Grand National, Buick applied an additional badge to the header panel, just above the passenger side headlight assembly.
The car was prominently displayed by Buick at the 2003 Buick Centennial in Flint, MI, and starred in the 2012 film “BLACK AIR: The Buick Grand National Documentary.”
