Vehicle Description
This is one of only 13,588 Buick Lesabre convertibles built in
1960. All of the LeSabre convertibles were built in Flint, MI which
is indicated in the VIN and on the body tag. The 1960 LeSabre
received a major facelift, the new body design sharing only the
roof and trunk lid with the 1959 model. The new Buick now sported a
concave grille and horizontal headlights centered by Buick's, then
new, tri-shield logo which is still used today. Inside a revised
instrument panel features a Mirromatic speedometer for which the
lens could be adjusted to better visibility to suit the driver. A
new two-spoke steering wheel with horn bars was introduced as well.
This stunning Buick received a complete frame-on restoration in
2011. The beautiful bodylines are very straight with great gaps
throughout. The car was painted in its original color of Titan Red
and has a new black power convertible top. The undercarriage was
cleaned and repainted as well. The attractive exterior paint is in
show-quality condition and all of the chrome and trim is in great
condition. The car sits on proudly on four BFGoodrich Silverstone
whitewall bias-ply tires. The original gray interior was replaced
with a new red and white interior which complements the exterior
excellently. Everything in the interior has been restored or
replaced, however the clock and radio are not in working order.
This car was ordered with heater/defroster which works very nicely
and a Buick tissue dispenser accessory was installed under the
dash. The trunk compartment is nicely detailed with a spare tire
and trunk mat. The engine compartment is also nicely detailed with
many correct parts throughout. The 364ci Nailhead V8 engine is
coupled to a twin turbine two-speed automatic transmission which
shifts smoothly. The car is equipped with power steering and power
brakes which make driving a pleasure. This beautiful Buick was
awarded AACA Senior First Place in 2013 and the medallion is
attached to the front grille. It has recently been completely
serviced which is documented with an invoice that is included. This
LeSabre has been driven frequently, including a few longer distance
trips.
