This 1961 Buick LeSabre is a full-size convertible powered by a period-correct 364ci "Nailhead" V8 paired with a Turbine Drive 3-speed automatic transmission. Features include bench seats, lap belts, manual windows, and whitewall tires over wire wheels. Finished in metallic teal with a green cloth retractable top over a two-tone teal vinyl interior, custom car cover, the uninstalled original wheel covers, an owner’s manual, receipts, and a clear texas title in the seller’s name.
This LeSabre was repainted metallic teal approximately 20 years ago. Features include quad headlights, triple portholes, an antenna, and a dual exhaust system. The seller notes that there is some bubbling paint. In addition, the weatherstripping around the windows on the passenger side is beginning to peel away and needs to be replaced.
Wire wheels with knock-off spinner caps are set inside of whitewall tires. The seller notes that the chrome is flaking off of one of the back wheels.
An AM radio is installed but not functioning and the stitching is coming undone on the driver's side of the rear seat, according to the seller. They also report that the driver- and passenger-side window regulators are rusty, although the windows roll up and down without a problem.
Vehicle information is communicated through a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 55K miles, which the seller reports are an accurate amount.
The replacement, period-correct 364ci "Nailhead" V8 was last serviced May 2022 and received new fluids and a lube job. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a column-shifted Turbine Drive 3-speed automatic transmission.
