February 5, 200620 yr I just happened to run across this and personally I think it looks pretty goofy but I just can't believe Buick did this. More pictures are on the site. http://www.luxurycarts.com/buick_lucerne_golf_cart.htm Edited February 5, 200620 yr by Cananopie
February 5, 200620 yr That is just SO funny! It even has a 3.8 engine standard!!... well, 3.8 horsepower.
February 5, 200620 yr You have to wonder if those are the taillamps they were going to put on the Lucerne. Notice how LeSabre-like they are.
February 5, 200620 yr Hey that's not right... 4 portholes for a 3.8? Damn... they should've built it around a Velite... Edited February 5, 200620 yr by ToniCipriani
February 5, 200620 yr The reason those exist is because of the show "Amazing Race". A month or so ago when it was on, GM sponsored them, and on one show that was specifically sponsored by the Lucerne, the contestants had to do something on a gold course that required riding around on golf carts--carts which GM had made as little Lucernes. Then, in the end, the winner of that round actually one a new real Lucerne. So, that's actually why they exist. Reminds me of the '93-96 Cadillac Fleetwood (my car) ones they made several years ago for Florida retirees who were infatuated with the car and wanted a mini version they could tool around in their communities with.
February 5, 200620 yr So, since it has an optional engine (9 whole horsepower), does that mean that is the ol' Shortstar?

That episode was hilarious.
February 6, 200620 yr my dad looked at a lucerne for my mom this weekend. she liked the lucerne, but said it's 'still only a buick'. so they aren't gonna fork out the dough for that. but maybe he'd go for this!
February 6, 200620 yr That front overhang is huuugge! Can't GM design a properly proportioned cart? But the panel gaps are air-tight!
February 6, 200620 yr For those who can't afford a real Lucerne, the golf cart is only $18K. Is THAT all?
