Most overrated car in history

They really skipped how long and how many hands it took to figure out why it wouldnt start.

Once a great industrial nation completely sold out to China by our own "government" the so-called left and the so-called right politicians/president acting as the puppets they are for the "Real owners" of this country/world who own/control the financial system of this country and worldwide.

I'd give a kidney, part of my liver and anything else I can spare for a 1987 Buick GNX. 👍 Seeing this Buick Grand National video means a lot. I'm a *_huge_* GM fan...for decades. Reminds me of "The Last Truck" documentary for my GMC Envoy SLT and Saab 9-7x Aero.

24:57 The car wouldn't start

21:56 What is the name of that special tool she used to install the fender badge Badge

They show a Monte Carlo body. A Pontiac shirt signing and this is supposed to be about a Buick.. hmm

Dood wtf these aren’t even using instructions brah 🤨

America used to be a country of greatness.

Loved seeing the silver monte carlo ss being built at 5:15 too!!

I wonder if that last Grand National GNX is in a museum. Or a private owner has it

Fastest car in America. One hell of a machine.

My dad's friend bought a new '85 Monte SS and went to the plant in Oshawa to pick it up. It never saw snow or even rain. He babied it. The paint faded a bit due to a defect but he left it alone. I think it had around 140k (km) When he decided 10 or 15 years ago to donate it to the local kidney foundation!? I'd always wanted it since the first time I saw it. I think it's passed through a few hands since. Probably just flippers. Oh well it's just a bunch of steel and parts.

Someone needs to run this video through AI. Horrible camera work😂

Betcha me and my wife's 78 Malibu SS 4 speed was assembled here possibly????

This car auctioned at Barrett Jackson sold for $550k 🤣🤣

Omg its gbody heaven!

And after that -next job (after plant retooling-if they did).build FWD disposables that no one cares about.Great to have this video to see the end of the good old days.

Thats g body heaven right there!

I wouldn't want that last car, seeing that everyone on the line was so distracted with that little kid walking around, which I'm surprised they let him into the factory during production

That little dude in the video is now a 40 year old man!

I'd be cool to go back in time at this moment to feel and feel the whole experience of the making of these GNX's

If GM still built these cars, they would be selling a lot of them.

I guess it’s a natural reaction, but why such a celebration for fixing a manufacturing defect made on such a high profile vehicle, causing a no start condition? They should have been embarrassed IMO.

I worked there also on second shift Dec 1987 was the end of history being made.I proudly own a 1988 cutlass supreme classic to this day! A very sad day it was for all who worked there never to be forgotten!

My first job at GM was in the iron duke engine plant-under the same roof but across from the indoor rail dock separating these 2 operations. During my interview, a plant tour was scheduled. As soon as I saw the car assembly area, I asked to view that area. My guide complied as he agreed it was much more interesting. I will never forget walking the assembly plant area the day after this footage was captured. So sad and so eerie.

This is beautiful but unbelievably sad. The end of an amazing era we all long for. Times were okay until then. Now have a look at the world these days, what a shame. Nobody can afford a new car anymore and especially nobody can own a house anymore, Back then factory workers had lovely homes, these days only the upper class can afford that..

Boy I can see now why they ended production!😒what a mess!

I was there that sad day. I put the right side wheels on it just before body drop. I gelled it until the front sheet metal was installed. Took a couple of pictures and punched out. Thus ending my PMD/GM employment. RIP late great PMD Plant

does the grand natural regal end in mid 87?????.

This video is very depressing. I remember Fisher Body in Flint, when this Buick marked the end of what was once a part of me. Ten years prior, I spent time with a friend who was a railroad engineer, serving that yard that went into the factory. I was in the cab of a C&O GP7 at the time. Fisher Body 1 ended up becoming some sort of "mock up" after it closed, and later turned into a drug maker thingy when the "engineering stuff" didn't work out. I loved Fisher Body. I can care less about what the property is now. It's nothing compared to what it once was. They might as well make it into a parking lot for all I care, because that part of me has been gone for almost 40 years.

crazy this car sold for 500k at auction

I owned a 85 cutlass supreme and still run a like brand new with ac 😊

I wonder how many of these line workers could afford one of these Grand Nationals. They were almost 20k back then. 😊

My mom had an 88 Cutlass Supreme Classic with the Olds 307 engine. It was our first new car that can remember. Till this day it was still her favorite car. Amazing seeing this video of the Pontiac plant that built it.

sold for 550k at barrett jackson Scottsdale 2022!

❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😮hi this Buick G.N will make the Corvette look like a sitting duck 🦆

Only 24 seconds into the video and this moment is very telling. What we have here is the last G-Body in a performance guise, and it represents the end of not just the car itself, but the end of a generation of United States citiizens that grew up in an era when Gerneral Motors market share was 48 percent of all cars driven on the road. It represenets an end to the relationship when Fisher Body and GM colloborated together to produce vehicles with the Carrige Decal on the rocker panels. Finally, because of the decision to stop building G-Bodies and replace them with GM-10s, it represent the closure of an automobile factory and in turn families livilihoods being in despair. As most know, this happened in the late 80s. Who is to blame?

It must have been the poor lighting ability of the camera back then. It makes it look like the production lines barely had a lighting.

Forever Legendary…..this upload and the Grand National 😢🫡

Great shots ❤️ 👌

When GM WAS KING

The rarest was the T-type Riv.

Meanwhile they were making T-types since '83. I see GN/GNX cars at shows all the time, I'm usually the only '83 there. And the same with my '79 turbo Regal and '86 T-type wagon. Unbelievable how much "collectors" will pay for these. I drive mine, paintings sit still, cars are for driving.

I love that the kid (Matt) loves being there and UNDERSTANDS what's going on and why it's important!

This is incredible, a story of persistence and kindness at many levels. I'm proud to be a GM fan! I love C4 Vettes and Grand Nationals. And it's so cool to see Matt lower that engine into its cradle! I'm sure he understood the significance of the GNs even as a 4-year old in '87--I am the same age but found out what GNs were in '92 when I read Motor Trend and Car & Driver (I was 8 then).

Best car still talking about…… all these years……👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍nice ☝️☝️☝️

Love it! We still have no video of Syclone/Typhoon in PAS factory. Dang

Shout out to whomever filmed this

Im still fascinated by the fact that at 22:45, it took 30 seconds for the A/C lines to be vacuumed and filled with refrigerant.
