The LeSabre was a new model in the Buick range when introduced in 1959. Outwardly nothing reminded of the previous Buick models. The car sported pronounced and sharp fins and a very descriptive grille, with 2 headlights put under a 30 degree angle to each other. The car was available as a coach, sedan, coupe and stationwagon. Powered by a six litre Wildcat engine, giving 238 BHP, a top speed of 170 kph could be achieved.
For the 1960 vintage, the fins were slightly reduced, while the two headlights were now put in a more common parallel position. The 1959 edition sold almost 165,000 times, while in 1960 about 152,000 were sold.
Shown here a 1959 Coupe and a 1960 Coupe, both present during the American Car Show supporting the 2006 Concours d’Elegance at the Het Loo Palace.
