This beautiful Buick LeSabre was a part of our Hollywood car collection for many years. It was used by the legendary Bette Davis and Jimmy Stewart in the movie The Right of Way. We just acquired it back from the lovely people we sold it to about 20 years ago.

EXTERIOR: Amazing colors and body lines! The two-tone Sable Black and Tampico Red paint is super nostalgic and really pops. The sculpted body design is both beautiful and unique. When looking down the side of the nice and straight body you will see smooth contours and crisp lines. The panels were all painstakingly aligned square and flush with consistent gaps that are well above average. The doors close easily with minimal effort. All the glass is crystal clear and must have been replaced during restoration. The chrome bumpers and remaining trim all have a glorious shine. The front grille with floating Buick emblem looks so cool and is in great shape. The taillights are also in great condition and remind me of a jet afterburner or rocketship. The fender skirts and fender embellishments really dress things up nicely. It is rolling on a set of 15" steel rims that are wrapped in radial whitewall tires and have the correct hubcaps.

INTERIOR: So cool! A massive hooded bar speedometer immediately steals your attention. And the coolest part is you're actually seeing the gauge in a mirror that easily adjusts with a dial to its right, for taller or shorter drivers. To its left is another dial that adjusts the speed indicator which starts buzzing when you drive too fast. And it works, how cool is that! All the bezels and knobs are in great shape. The original Sonomatic radio is still in place. A factory style tissue box holder with Buick emblem is such a cool and nostalgic option. Everything has been restored or refurbished and looks fantastic. Both the seats were reupholstered in matching black, red, and white fabric. The tri-colored door panels were also replaced and have "LeSabre" embossed in them. The white vinyl headliner is nice and tight plus the carpet was also replaced. The light on the dash and inside the glovebox are both working.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wildcat powerplant! The 346 cubic inch V8 runs extremely smooth and quiet. It is topped off with a 2 barrel carburetor and a super cool air cleaner that has the hand stamped "Wildcat" logo on the snorkel. Nicely equipped with power brakes and effortless power steering. The original style generator and radiator are currently working great. The battery is properly secured and the squirters are hooked up. The original fender tag is in place. The fender wells and firewall are neatly painted satin black plus the underside of the hood is complete with insulation.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Massive! The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are neatly painted body color. It also has a jack instruction sticker and the weatherstrip is soft. Nicely equipped with a full-size spare tire, hubcap, vinyl cover, and even a vinyl trunk mat. Inside is a picture of Betty Davis and James Stewart sitting in this car while filming the movie "Right of Way". The original California black plate used in the movie is also included.

UNDERSIDE: This car has a clean and solid undercarriage that has been maintained as needed since restoration. It's equipped with a power steering system that works effortlessly. The springs and shocks were previously replaced and provide an impressively smooth ride. Equipped from the factory with 4 wheel power drum brakes. The dual exhaust has also been replaced and has a transverse muffler. Looking up at the V8 engine and automatic transmission, they are both nice and clean. The floors appear to be solid and had an undercoating applied some time ago.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can give away the best cars within reason.
