These Buichevmobiletiacs were certainly not the brightest chapter in American automotive history.

Tbh, I think it is the larger Park Ave. If it is a Buick.

It's from the period where all GM cars looked like twins even if they used completely different shetmetal! This one is an Oldsmobile 88 (1986-1991).

Delta 88 as they were all called then.

I'm really tempted to say this is an '87 model because the headlight sits a little higher off the bumper on models with the unified headlights and the '86 (with the sealed beams) sat right above the bumper.

Oh, and did anyone catch this? The car was in Park the whole time during that scene.

What makes it an '87 rather than an '86? You don't have a clear shot of the horn pad or the front of the car.

You can see the side reflectors have a chrome trim around them, when a 1986's side reflectors were solid orange with no trim.

I though I was the only one that noticed it was in park

That would be an 87 or a very, very early 1988 model. I can tell because that is around the time GM introduced the Automatic Seatbelt system were the seatbelts where in the doors rather than on the body

I don't agree, there wasn't anything really wrong with these cars.
For one thing, Chevrolet never used this body style, they kept the rear drive Caprice around as their (much larger) full size car.
The Pontiac Bonneville was very distinctive and different looking than the Buick and Olds versions.
Sportier wheels and appointments, much less, if any, chrome trim, different body side moldings, you knew if the car was a Pontiac.
The Buick and Oldsmobile versions were harder to tell apart from far away.
But keep in mind, GM designed these cars when they were downsizing all of the corporation's vehicles in an effort to get better fuel mileage.
They made each brand's versions more distinct with the next generation of these cars (92-98).
The appeal of the 86-91 version of these cars was full sized car interior room in a much more space efficient, smaller exterior package with front wheel drive-hence the boxy design that allowed for that.
Almost all of these cars had the 3.8 Buick V6 engine, which is an engine known for durability and decent performance.
They were smooth and quiet, roomy, and you could get 30 mpg on the higway with them, what's there not to like?

If you go into any old persons garage you'll probably find more full size gm cars. (the b-body cars had more quality and are still on the road)
