That was my Avis rental car for the duration of my first visit to the US in 1999.
I'd booked something rather more modest, but when I arrived in Denver I was offered a deal whereby I paid a one grade increase for a two grades up car.
On reflection, I suppose that meant they didn't have a car in the size I'd booked so a carrot was dangled in the form of the big Buick.
Heavens knows how much more unnecessary expense I 'volunteered' for!
However, it was comfortable, roomy and so new that it still had a temporary plate in the form of a sheet of paper taped in the rear window.
Memory has faded somewhat, but I think that photo was taken somewhere in SD. I could probably narrow it down a bit given time, but it's late here.

I sent my folks to Hawaii as a Christmas gift. They had been there several times so knew where they wanted to go and what to do. They reserved a compact rental car but on arrival were offered a Caddy convertible for the same price. Pop said hell yeah but after one day and a couple of close calls returned that monster for a compact.

FWIW...

Having had time to delve, I'm pretty sure that location is the Meriden rest area on US 85 in Wyoming, about forty five miles north east of Cheyenne.

Despite the lack of vroom noises I love the idea of rescuing beautiful old car designs by marrying them to modern power plants.
