Buick Electra used to mean something. Chrysler Imperial and Lincoln Town Car did also. That was at a time when cars were still distinguishable. Instead of random numbers with a few letters, they had distinctive names. These names, although distinct, conformed to a standardized pattern. This pattern of naming was comparable to botanical nomenclature.
According to botanical nomenclature, plants are identifiable by genus and species. Their ‘gen’us is a more ‘gen’eral designation than their ‘speci’fic ‘speci’es designation. A family is a larger and more general classification than genus, and in turn, fits into another more general group. Most of us are not concerned with the many classifications beyond family.

A like-new 1988 Buick Electra Park Avenue with just over 3,000 miles on the odometer recently appeared for sale via an online auction site.
This mint Buick Electra Park Avenue was listed for sale on
Bring-A-Trailer earlier this week. According to the listing, the seller acquired this low-mileage Buick sedan in 2019 from the original owner’s grandson and has driven it sparingly in the time since, putting just 300 miles on it.

There are a few small problems with the vehicle, including a non-functioning fuel gauge, a sagging headliner and some small corrosion holes in the muffler. The vehicle is also being sold with the radiator removed, but the radiator will be included in
My cousin, Lynn, and I sat side by side every week in Sunday School, in the choir where less than a dozen people sang, and on the second bench on the left side for preaching.
We even led a song together every Sunday and, sometimes, if the church was really hard up, one or both of us would play the piano. Neither of us was very good at it, but Daddy, willing to lead the suffering congregation through our sour notes, thought it was worth the learning weâd get from it.
I remember, once, when I was about 14, I stopped midway through the first verse of Trust and Obey and said to Royce, the song leader, âYouâre singinâ too fast. Slow down.â
