1959 BUICK LE SABRE 4-DOOR HARDTOP, FINS FRONT AND BACK

Description

ALL GENERAL MOTORS CARS GOT FLAT ROOFS AND " PICTURE WINDOW" WRAPAROUND BACKLIGHT GLASS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS EXAMPLE. BUICKS THIS YEAR HAVE "DELTA-WINGS" WHICH ARE CANTED FINS FOUND IN THE FRONT FENDERS AND REAR QUARTER PANELS. BUICK MODELS THIS YEAR WERE RENAMED: LESABRE, INVICTA, ELECTRA, AND ELECTRA 225 THE TOP OF THE LINE. THIS FOUR DOOR WEIGHS 4229 LBS., COST $ 2804 NEW, AND 51379 OF THIS MODEL WERE MADE. SO, THIS IS NOT A RARE CAR, BUT WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW ONE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION? ONLY THE LESABRE HAD THE 364 CID, V8 ENGINE THAT PRODUCED 250 BHP. ALL OTHER BUICKS HAD THE 401 CID V8 WHICH PRODUCED 325 HP. HERE, I THINK, IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DETROIT EXPERIMENTING WITH SHAPING STEEL IN UNUSUAL WAYS, BUT AN OUTSTANDING LOW MILEAGE LATE FIFTIES SEDAN FOR SURE. Another original survivor brought to you by 55lincoln. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR VIEWING.
