Here's why:
* Emphasis on Comfort Over Performance: The Park Avenue Ultra prioritized comfort and smooth ride quality, typical of large American luxury sedans of its era. While comfortable for long journeys, it lacked the sharp handling, powerful engine, and sporty characteristics generally associated with grand touring cars.
* Lack of Sportiness: It wasn't designed for spirited driving or winding roads. Its suspension was tuned for a plush ride, sacrificing agility and responsiveness.
* Size and Weight: Its size and weight contributed to a less engaging driving experience compared to a purpose-built GT car.
While you could certainly undertake a long-distance drive in a Buick Park Avenue Ultra comfortably, it's more accurately categorized as a luxury sedan geared towards relaxed cruising rather than a high-performance grand tourer. The experience would be comfortable, but not necessarily exhilarating in the way a true GT car would be.
