Rare Rides: The 1991 Chevrolet Lumina Z34, a Practical High-performance Coupe
Let’s talk Lumina Z34.
The Lumina was a new model in Chevrolet’s lineup, introduced in 1990 to replace the dated and extra boxy A-body Celebrity that was on sale since 1982. Lumina was larger in every dimension and more suited to its midsize car mission than its predecessor. Utilizing the newer W-body, Lumina was produced alongside the Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. All four cars went head-to-head with the sales monster that was the Ford Taurus.
But the Lumina was no single-car replacement at GM; there was a larger plan at work. Lumina also absorbed the market share of Chevy’s Monte Carlo, which saw its last model year in 1988. Monte’s sporty customers chose the two-door coupe, while Celebrity types opted for the four-door sedan. Monte Carlo was reintroduced for the ’95 model year, which coincided with Lumina’s second W-body generation. In that guise, Mont

A two-vehicle crash on Interstate 94 near Osakis on Saturday, June 6, injured five people and one of them was airlifted from the scene.

Olds going out with a bang
By 1999 the folks at Oldsmobile could see the writing on the wall; the 102-year-old carmaker would announce its demise by the following December. Somehow the GM bean counters let this one slip through the cracks as Oldsmobile readied a line of concepts for the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas. It was one last hurrah before the brand officially closed shop in 2004.
The 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette OSV concept as seen in GM’s promotional press material
Oldsmobile Specialty Vehicles (OSV) readied three concepts based on the Alero coupe, Intrigue Sedan and, surprisingly, the Silhouette minivan. The Alero and Intrigue were fairly attractive cars in their day, made even more so by all the OSV enhanced visuals cues.
