SOMETIME BETWEEN 1998 AND 2008 THE BUICK LINE, AND ALMOST ALL OTHER LINES, ENLARGED THE SIZE OF THE COLUMNS SUPPORTING THE ROOF, MODIFIED THE FRONT SIDE WINDOWS TO ADD A SMALL TRIANGLE OF MATERIAL AT THE FRONT OF THE WINDOWS, AND RAISED THE HEIGHT OF THE SIDE MIRRORS AND RAISED THE HEIGHT OF THE "DASH" ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.
