Buick fitted a CRT touchscreen to the center stack of a two-seat coupe in 1988, years before anyone else decided that was a good idea. Fewer than 22,000 Reattas were built across four years, and this is a first-year car.

This 1988 Buick Reatta is a first-year example of Buick's limited-production two-seat luxury coupe, showing approximately 53,000 miles believed original. It retains its original exterior finish and factory configuration throughout, with no modifications noted. Power comes from a 3.8-liter V6 driving the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The current owner purchased the car two years ago and has used it regularly since. It is offered with a clean title.

Exterior

Styled with smooth, rounded body lines, hidden headlamps, and flush-fitting trim, the Reatta represented a futuristic design direction for GM in the late 1980s. The body panels are straight with factory fitment, and the paint shows consistent wear for its age, indicative of a car that has been driven but cared for. Factory alloy wheels complete the period-correct appearance.

Interior

The cabin features bucket seats, a wraparound dash, and Buick's Electronic Control Center — a CRT-based touchscreen integrated into the center stack through which the driver operates climate control, audio, vehicle diagnostics, and trip data. The system is functional. The beige leather upholstery, carpets, and trim appear original, with condition consistent with the car's low mileage. Standard equipment includes power seats, cruise control, and a tilt steering column.

Engine & Drivetrain

The 3.8-liter V6 sends power to the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The car is reported to run and drive well.

Note: No specific service records accompany the car, and prospective buyers may wish to inspect common maintenance items for this engine such as belts, hoses, and ignition components. Additional details including VIN and further photography will be provided to serious inquiries.
