Kirban update
BINGO post 103 nailed it.....also 105 post loved that response doubt any Monte Carlo company will use that as a tag line.
Our cars show no part number in the parts book for 4 of the lower body bushings...it appears their was not much coordination between the engineers that built the intercooled turbo engine and the suspension group to stiffen up the car.
Again strictly my opinion and at the same time gave me and other suppliers more products to sell. Every Turbo Regal I sold and laid on the ground and installed them before selling the cars. Among my findings is for some odd reason about 50% of the 1986 Turbo Regals also lacked the last lower bushing but not 87s only 86s. This of course would be a mistake as their is a part number for the last bushings.
I remember the year GM had their GNX at the GS Nats and not only was it missing the lower bushings but two of the bolts had fallen out.
While we can make fun of the Monte Carlo at least at Chevy they were smart enough to not offer a power antenna and they did have an attractive guage panel. Only two highlights I can think of.
In all my dealings I only took one Monte Carlo SS in on trade
next post is next contest
again previous winner please reframe from next one all others open game.

Next one:
We are all familiar with the turbo logo which is actually called the power 6 logo in Buick terms. This was designed by Molly. No matter what you call it Buick used that emblem Buick used that format on several models during the 1980s. Some where orange/red some were solid red again referring to the actual portion that is known as the power six or turbo.
Name the 4 Buick models I am referring to that are either solid red or red/orange format. . May be more if so I welcome the education but I have proof in my collection of the 4 I am referring to.
it begins now.

I reposted my question and added a line to clarify to avoid confusion example your lesabre T-Type would not match my answer I can't recall lst hand if the power six logo is on the hood pad....I am 90% certain it is also appears on hood pads on other Buick models...but can't recall which ones...so new clue is external badges only on the 4 models I am referring to.

above post 114 is technically correct my saving grace is it has to agree with my answers....point being we are all learning something with that said their is still one more missing from the group which would be 5 not 4.
So one more is still out there to be guessed on this contest.

I have that sports coup emblem in my collection I should have thought about it....it was part of the T-Type labeling Buick did in 1983 on five different Buick models.....if memory serves me correct.

Good guess on the 5th model but not the one I am seeking so little is known about the 84 t-types I believe if my memory is rite its the same as the 83....again in one sense your rite but not the one I am thinking of that is different from what has been named already.
Keep trying the longer it takes the more time I got to think up the next contest in the midst of doing my weekly inner circle.

I have no idea what your 9 guess has to do with naming the model Buick that has the power six logo as a badge on the car....
