lines, and luxurious interiors represent a special time in
America's history as well as the Auto Industry's history. Taking
design cues from airplanes and rockets, the cars became statement
pieces in the owners driveways as many American vehicles were world
class luxury cars competing with the likes of the Europeans and
their exotic materials and names. We're excited to offer this
beautiful Buick LeSabre convertible for your consideration. This is
a classic that has been well cared for and comes with a large
amount of documentation including the original Bill of Sale that
was written up in April of 1961. This top of the heap LeSabre
boasts the optional 401ci V8 engine which offered plenty of power
to get this big luxury car to board meetings or the beach. Among
the many luxury options on this particular LeSabre, the power
convertible top and power windows combine to make enjoying the
outdoors a little easier. Can you imagine taking the large top back
all by yourself? Sure it can be done, but it's not the easiest bit
of material to gracefully fold back. Sweeping chrome trim that
offers both hard angles and soft curves envelops the exterior of
the car. The exterior of the car has been well cared for and is
still finished in the original color of Tampico Red (code VV1)
capped with a black convertible top. A new coat of paint was added
recently which shows very well and displays nice gloss throughout.
A bright color combination like this LeSabre's Red over red
interior isn't something that we would see on new vehicles today,
but boy does it look great on this car. There's just enough
contrast from the chrome trim, and a few black accent stripes
throughout the interior to break up all that red. The interior was
refurbished in 2010 and among the highlights are a Sonomatic Radio,
off-white faced ribbon-style speedometer, large chrome trimmed
steering wheel, and safety belts. Own a piece of American car
history with this awesome LeSabre. It's finished in the original
Red over Red, has a 401ci V8 under the hood, and comes with plenty
of service records to thumb through. Admire that beautiful jet
inspired exterior of this statement car from the '60's. Be sure to
