The Story of Our 1981 Buick Regal...

First Shot of the car brand new in the spring of 1981, white walls and all.  Car came with various options, the biggest being Air Conditioning and and an automatic.  The car had a few computer problems, long story short, wasn't the best of cars to start off with, but with age, things got better.  Thank you Mr. Check Engine light.  The color is Light Sandstone and Dark Sandstone (tan and brown).

Sometime within the next 2 years, Mom hit a horse and pretty much totalled it.  But, since dad was an autobody man, he took care of the problem...

And the wonderful repair...

After all is said and done, this is how it came out.  It ran great for the next 10 years.  Eventually, with 130K+ miles, it was time to sell it and move on.  Only 5 years later I would go ahead a buy an 86 Regal T-Type...probably cause I grew up with this one.  Dad repainted the hood later cause the hood "drop" didn't look so good.  The last shot is on the title page.
