Buick LeSabre

The Buick LeSabre was a full-size upscale car made by the Buick division of General Motors from 1959 to 2005.

History
LeSabre was based on the same platform as the Park Avenue, and consequently shared its roomy, 6-passenger spaciousness as well as a modern front-drive layout. Competitive vehicles included its sister ship, the Oldsmobile Eighty Eight, as well as the Chrysler Concorde and rear-wheel-drive Ford Crown Victoria.

With two trim levels, Custom and Limited, there weren't many choices for LeSabre buyers, but that's because just about everything customers got for was standard. There was only one powertrain, the 170-hp Series II sequential-port-fuel-injected 3800 V6 and an electronically controlled 4-speed transaxle. With an internal balance shaft, this V6 delivered V8-like smoothness and power. ABS was standard, and traction control was available to reduce steering wheel kickback and wheelspin.

Standard equipment on both models included dual airbags, PASS-Key II antitheft system, a/c, tinted glass, AM/FM stereo, tilt steering wheel and power locks, windows and steering.

The LeSabre Limited included such amenities as a cup-holder console, cruise control, electric trunk release, rear-window defogger, 6-way power seats and power outside rearview mirrors and lighted interior vanity mirrors on the sun visors.

Real sports aficionados specified the Gran Touring package, which upgraded the tires to 16-in. blackwall high-performance Goodyear Eagle GAs, and added a more responsive electronic self-leveling suspension. 

Another option was self-sealing tires. These tires have a gummy liquid inside that tends to plug leaks, reducing the likelihood of a flat.
