TWO OWNERS FROM NEW
1960 BUICK LESABRE CONVERTIBLE
Chassis No. tba
Silver with red and white interior
Engine: overhead valve V-8, 364ci., 250bhp at 4,400rpm; Gearbox: column shift automatic; Suspension: semi-elliptic leaf springs; Brakes: four wheel drums all around. Left hand drive.
Buick's trademark styling throughout the 1950s won them much acclaim from both the automotive industry and the purchasing public. In 1953 Buick introduced some of the most memorable cars of the decade. They were well built and distinctively styled, their porthole side vents becoming a mainstay on production cars for years to come. Buick kept pace with the best of the automotive industry by consistently upgrading their models with each year's introduction.
In 1959 the Buick division of General Motors was deemed The Year's Most Changed Car. Buick was earning a good reputation by building cars that seemed to continually surprise their skeptics. With the high performance of the Wildcat engines, distinctive 1950s styling and their rapidly accelerating market share, the small GM division found themselves on the upswing entering the 1960 model year. The 1959 Buicks all featured the over-the-top tailfin and chrome styling features characteristic of the 50s. However, styling on the 1960 Buicks was a bit more restrained. Though the fins and chrome were still present, they had been toned down and brought back under control. Ample power was provided from the Buick Wildcat engine, which was offered in a variety of different forms, the most popular though was the 364ci. version, as featured on the 1960 Buick LeSabre on offer here.
This Buick, a highly original example of the LeSabre series, was purchased new from Stamford Buick in May of 1960. The LeSabre remained with the first owners until 1994 when it was purchased by the current owners in its very original condition, showing only 29,200 miles, believed to be from new. Recent work on the LeSabre included a new convertible top and some minor touch up work to the paint. This Buick LeSabre is equipped with power steering, power brakes and its original AM radio, which is reported to be in working condition. The red and white interior is also reported to be in well preserved, original condition in keeping with the LeSabre's overall lovely appearance.
