General Motors' introduction of the front wheel drive vehicle X-Body models

OK, so I was interested in the innovation of the X body cars and specifically the 1980 Buick Skylark from the advertisements. I ordered the sportiest options I could. I should have known that when the brand-new delivered car battery ran down on the first day, and the fix was that the dealer ran a wire from the driver's side to the passenger side and the fuse box, I was the owner of a car with the wrong wiring harness. It was silver with a white interior and with bucket seats. It worked well for the year I owned it, but it was a typical General Motors beta test first-year car. Not being that smart at the time, I traded it in on an 1981 Chevrolet X-11, which was better performing and provided transportation for some time. First the pictures of the 80 Skylark and the 81 X-11.
