The Showroom New 24 Year Old Buick

Boulevard Buick in Signal Hill, California has probably seen its share of slow-moving units over its 50 years in business...but why has this brand-new 1987 Buick Regal GNX stayed on the showroom floor for almost half that time?

The fascinating story from the Los Angeles times via The Detroit Free Press.

Another dealership with an unsold musclecar, this time an '87 GNX, last one was a '69 Daytona

The Los Angeles dealership bought it from GM, tried once or twice to make a killing by auctioning it off, and never succeeded. They eventually decided to keep it as an investment they can one day cash in.

I read about it in a magazine, but can't recall much about it.
