Lighting wasn't the best in the garage, but here's the photos..
Spring wax for '05 Park Ave

Thanks, it's a soft riding, quiet car. Have owned it almost five years now, I bought it from the original owner's son (estate sale).Nice cruiser.
Thanks!
Good looking indeed!
Thank you. I was fortunate to find one in nice shape and low mileage, looked for a long time though.
My mother passed earlier this year and she had a '05 PA Ultra soon to be an estate sale. I drove it last week on a spirited 450 mile jaunt to stretch it's legs. I got 27.5 MPG with a mix of interstate and 2 lane roads. Sweet ride. Changing the cabin filter in those cars is a royal PITA however.
The highway is where these cars shine, for sure. I've cussed the GM engineer who designed the diabolical cabin filter placement (behind the gas pedal and in several sections) many times over the years. We had an '03 Park Ave for 12 years, daughter is driving it now. 200k miles on the '03, but still reliable and nice to drive.
Looks good

Good on you. They don't make'm like that no more.
Thanks!
Toyota Avalon would (I think) come the closest nowadays, but that giant fish mouth grill
Thanks! Maintenance is easy, and repairs should be too when their needed - compared to the new stuff.
You gotta love a car that gets great fuel mileage and has a back seating area large enough to take a full swing with a 5 iron.
Oh yeah. Only reason why i got a 21 escalade was because i still had the near bulletproof 05 xl denali which hasnt had any electrical, engine, trans, or front/rear diff and Tcase failiure. Dont know what people mean about the trans being weak on these. both my gmc's are original and had nothing but regular trans service and no parts. If i had to do all the suv miles on the escalade it would be a goner. It's just a sunday pray and dine truck thankfully so i should get a decade out of it without any big issues since the 05 runs on the other days.
