The Buick Grand National has square-jawed good looks, a intimidating cloak of blackness around it, and a powerful-for-the-late-’80s turbocharged V6. Comedian David Spade’s GN has a little…”extra.”Make that “less.” According to the “Jay Leno’s Garage” video below, Spade’s car has a chipped rear fender, a cracked front clip, and a broken antenna. Kind of a shame for a car this renowned and cool, but at least he drives it and didn’t turn it into a garage queen…which is probably what the "69 Dodge Daytona he paid $900,000 for was turned into. Other than those blemishes, Spade’s blacked-out Buick appears to be pretty straight. The most important part of it, the 245-horsepower turbo six under the hood, sounds as if it’s still going strong. The interior seems to be in decent shape (ignore the check engine light). It should stay that way as long as Spade is careful about what he carries inside to make sure nothing like this happens…Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>Follow @derekshiekhiTags: Buick, Buick Grand National, jay leno"s garage, Video
