Rebirth of the American Super Boss Road

"Yes, it is the historic and prestigious commercial street in New York that you remember - Park Avenue," Lance said with pride on his face: "Park Avenue is extremely luxurious, and the land prices are also staggeringly expensive. We at Buick use It is named after the top version of our top car series because Park Avenue represents the unique character of Americans - wealth, fashion, success, enjoyment, spontaneity, and unrestrainedness. It also represents us Americans. The pursuit of American luxury dreams.

If Buick Electra is the crown of Buick, then the Boulevard is the largest and most dazzling diamond on the crown..."

Speaking of this, even Lance couldn't help but sigh: "For me, if I can own an Electra Park Avenue when I am young and a Cadillac Eldorado when I am old, my life will be complete."

That's it!

After listening to Lance's introduction, Li Hongfei finally confirmed that Electra Park Avenue is the only C-class medium and large sedan that Buick has ever introduced in China to compete with the Audi A6: Buick Avenue.

Many car fans may have heard that Buick once had a mid-to-large executive sedan called Boulevard, and Boulevard was born in the Electra car series. Although Boulevard is not very recognized by domestic users in China, But in the United States, the Boulevard is a solid C-class mid-to-large executive sedan. With its spacious space and excellent power performance, it has become the car of many official figures and even members of Congress, and is favored by many members of Congress. , the brand influence, comfort and mechanical quality of Boulevard are evident.

As for now, ParkAvenue has obviously not become independent from the Electra car series and has become a separate brand. It is only equivalent to the top or high-end model in the Electra car series, which is roughly equivalent to the S680 Maybach version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, with all the optional equipment. Optional luxury accessories.

The huge body and the comfortable seats made Li Hongfei fall in love with it at first sight. This is the kind of car a man should drive.

Li Hongfei, who liked it more and more the more he looked at it, asked Lance: "This car is really good, Lance, how much does it cost?"

Lance: "$18000."

Li Hongfei was startled: "How much?"

"Why is it so expensive?"

Catherine was also shocked: "The Cadillac Eldorado Convertible two-door, four-seater roadster I saw in the newspaper two days ago, the price is only US$26000... That's a Cadillac!"

When Li Hongfei heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Catherine: Do I think it's expensive?I wonder why it is so cheap?A car this big and packed with all kinds of luxury features only costs $18000?

However, based on Catherine's reaction, Li Hongfei immediately realized that he had made another subjectivist error: It is now 1978!

Prices in 1978 were approximately one-fifth to one-sixth of those in 2023. If this US$18000 is converted into purchasing power in 2023, it is approximately equivalent to US$10 to US$11. In the United States in 2023, 10 US dollars The selling price is just over US$2021, which is the price of a proper luxury car. He remembers clearly that when he was writing an online article and looking up information, the price of the 4 500Matic version of the Mercedes-Benz S11 in North America was just over US$77500. , the starting price of the full-size luxury SUV Cadillac Escalade in North America is only US$18000, so in this era, the price of US$[-] is really not cheap, and it is definitely not within the reach of ordinary working-class people.

"Yes, yes, the price of US$18000 is indeed not cheap." Lance obviously misunderstood Li Hongfei's reaction and felt that Li Hongfei was too expensive. He immediately explained: "But Mr. Li, you should be able to understand that the Electra It is prepared for successful people like you who have a successful career. It is not a family car, but is used to show the strength and taste of the car owner. The configurations used are all the best. You may even say that it is a car. It is also possible to change the standard of a vehicle to a Cadillac Fleetwood.

If the Buick Electra is the crown of Buick, then the Boulevard is the largest and most dazzling diamond on the crown. It is understandable that it is more expensive, right? "

When Catherine heard this, she couldn't help but look at Li Hongfei. She felt that the ordinary version of Electra was just about the same. After all, there was not much difference between the two. The configuration of the ordinary version of Electra was also luxurious beyond her imagination, but since It was Li Hongfei who bought the car. She thought about it but still didn't say anything.

Li Hongfei silently calculated the funds available in his pocket and felt that it would be no problem to buy this car.

Since the money is enough, what else is there to say?He nodded immediately and said: "That makes sense. Since I need a car that shows my strength, this car is indeed the most suitable... Lance, can you arrange a test drive?"

"It's okay to test drive, but the test drive in our store only has the Limited version of the Electra," Lance explained with a stern look on his face: "Of course, although it is the Limited version, the car we came here also has options. There are many configurations that are only available in the ParkAvenue version, but..."

"It doesn't matter," before Lance could finish speaking, Li Hongfei waved his hand: "The Limited version is also fine. If the Limited version satisfies me, then the Park Avenue version will only satisfy me more."

"Sir, you are absolutely right," Lang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, gave a thumbs up, and said happily: "I will help you arrange it. Sir, please give me your driver's license, and I will register... "

Catherine glanced at Li Hongfei with envy, thinking that Li Hongfei was even more handsome: It's great to have money, and I can buy a car as expensive as 18000 US dollars whenever I want...

....................................

After one lap of the test drive, Li Hongfei was very satisfied with the Buick Electra: except for the poor sound system, which can only listen to radio and tapes, whether it is comfort, space, quietness or other configurations Nothing to fault. In 1978, you could buy a car with cruise control, electric windows and a car phone. What more bread do you need?Especially car phones. Can you believe that in this era before mobile phones were born, there are already car mobile phones?Li Hongfei felt that this thing helped him solve a big problem.

The only thing that makes Li Hongfei slightly regretful is that the car is a bit too big and the aura is too strong. He always feels that the car he drives does not feel like his own car, but like a bear who stole his old man's car. My child should be equipped with a professional driver, but I currently have no money to hire a driver...

Looking at Li Hongfei's expression, Lance also understood that the customer was very satisfied with this car, and quickly asked: "Sir, would you choose this current car from our company, or order it? This current car from our company has a red-brown body. , optional velvet seats, if you have requirements for body color and seats..."
