1987 Chevrolet Celebrity CL review from North America
"Reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than the general required maintenance the engine has been the most reliable of any.
However the transmission will not shift anymore. I am getting it rebuilt.
Also, the paint is almost completely burned off.
General comments?
This car (until the transmission quit) has been the most reliable of any. It will start on the first crank every time. Even when it is 20 degrees below zero.
The gas mileage has always been excellent (between 29 to 39 M.P.G. on the expressway).
The only thing that I would change about this vehicle would be the transmission. The automatic overdrive has always been a problem.
