In 1987, the Buick company made the decision that, within the year, production wound have to come to an end for its high-performance Regal Grand National, which was released three years earlier in 1984. At the time, the Grand National was a limited production model designed to draw attention to Buick's high-performance. However, every model eventually must come to its end, and for the Grand National it was the "Grand National to end all Grand Nationals".
