1987 Chevrolet Celebrity review from North America
"A economical dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator gave out randomly right after I bought it in the middle of a 6 lane highway, but miraculously, a tow truck driver and his hitch-hiker friend saved the day.
The cigarette lighter never worked.
The air conditioning isn't charged.
It seemed possessed for a month, changing radio stations on its own, and shutting off when I hit the brakes... weird stuff. It turned out to be a short in the starter.
The radiator sprung a leak.
The outside is a little rusty and has a few character flaws.
General comments?
This car is my dream.
I bought it for $250! Free snow tires.
It is a comfy girl.
Very powerful.
I still win with her at a red light.
30 miles to the gallon.
