1987 Chevrolet Celebrity review from North America
"A mean-looking machine with lots of power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upper rad hose replaced as soon as I bought the car, coolant and transmission fluid replaced, and spark plugs.
General comments?
This car is a very good buy. Reliable, easy to work on and lots of parts available, this car is a tank. Not too flashy and not full of complicated gizmos, a Celebrity is probably the most underrated car on the used car market. I put a stereo and a pair of foglights on it, as well as smoked licence plate covers, and the car looks mean. Oh, and the 2.8 and 4-speed automatic provides lots more pick-up than my 4-banger Mustang.
