Only 13588 built The LeSabre started life with the 364 cubic inc
Buick V-8 developing up to 250 horsepower. Engineering was Buick's
forte in this time. Their big finned aluminum drum brakes were the
best in the ;business, though their attempt at revamping their
Dynaflow automatics with a new second version starting in 1958 was
a mixed bag. The 1959 fins were "canted" and unlike anything else
on the road, and the dual headlamps were "canted" as well. For
1960, the cars were only mildly face lifted with a new concave
grille flanked by dual headlamps on a horizontal plane and
re-sculptured body sides. A 300- horsepower version of the LeSabre
V-8 became optional at extra cost. Buick's troubles Triple Turbine
automatic was not ont he option list for 1960, but the better and
less expensive Twin Turbine automatic was retained.
