: Instantaneous/average fuel consumption, tachometer, coolant temperature and voltage, date/time, Distance to Empty calculator, avg. speed, fuel consumed calculator, good morning/afternoon/evening messages depending on the clockโs internal time upon engine startup, Imperial/Metric switch and oil life. ๐พ Next to the driver information system is a panel with black squares that illuminate with the various warning messages for the driver. ๐ทโโ๏ธ The Brougham also featured multi-way power seats, power windows, and power locks, Buickโs in-house โConcert Soundโ premium sound system (with that good dimensional sound), and a radio receiver with manual EQ, tape deck, AM/FM and a power antenna that retracts into the body of the vehicle upon shutdown. ๐ป๐ก Underneath the hood is Buickโs famous 3800 V6 engine, with this current example housing the Pre-Series I LN3 model of the engine and FWD. This, combined with small, narrow wheels, adds to the comfortability of its ride (Gran Touring suspension), as well as bolstering fuel economy and maneuverability in snowy conditions. ๐งโ๏ธ๐ This engine also featured fuel injection, a fuel delivery system that had been around for decades but was recently gaining a lot of favour over carburetor based systems. This further improved fuel economy! ๐ฐ #buick #oldsmobile #3800 #v6 #automotivehistory #cargram #generalmotors #gm #stvangr #mangmang #fuelinjection #brougham". oldsmobile, seats, ashtray, high-tech, visibility
