1985 LeSabre Collector's Edition

[philr]

Nice car, it looks really clean!

A friend's neighbor has a '84 LeSabre Limited that's still not too bad but it's far from being as clean as yours.

Are you sure that the accelerator pedal on your LeSabre is hinged to the floor? I have that in my 1960's Buicks but I thought 1970 was the last year for floor-mounted gas pedals in fullsize Buicks. My 35 years old 1975 Electra has a suspended gas pedal. And it has airbags too!

Second Look

philr - I stand corrected about the accelerator pedal. I took another look and it is suspended, it just looks like it is hinged/attached at the floor (I think that was the intent of the design). But - this car does not have air bags. GM did not make them standard on all cars until after this one and if they were available as an option, this car did not come equipped with them.

Yay for all-original non-"Pimped" cars. 1985? Antique? Jeez.

I also had a Chevy Citation. Was my first car. Mine was a stick and it wouldn't go into 2nd gear. I had to wind up just shifting into 3rd. Otherwise, it had a v6 and ran well.

We had a low-end Chevy Citation (1983) that was a terrific car. Never the prettiest girl in the room but that car ran like a champ. It was outstanding in the snow, it could go up and down our steep hills with no complaint. I can't even count the number of appliances I hauled in that snatch-back!

Phil - I demand photos of your ACRS Electra (with a rare 75 year only console to boot!)

Phil -

All three of your Buicks are close to my heart. The only two you are missing (in my book) would be a '70 GS Stage 1, and a 71 or 72 Boat-tail. Attached is the Buick I grew up with. Unfortunately it is no longer in the family.

The amazing part is each of your cars were highly optioned. I've never seen a tach in a '67 Riv before. Too cool! I could go on for hours about Buicks, but I'll hold back at the moment. This is somebody else's thread!

A '70 GS Stage1 would be on the top of my list but I can't afford that! A good friend of mine owns a '72 Riv GS. It's a nice car too!

A bomb fucking '63 Riv sitting back home in Atlanta. That tobacco colored interior is nice!

Wow!
Steve,
Great links!
I think I am going to go ahead and bid on the 57' Eldorado. I think my tax return monies will cover it.
Thanks for the heads up!

1963 Buick Riveria

I had a "coach" in High School that had this beauty in Brown or Bronze.
I am just curious if this had the dynaflow transmission? Or was that a later thing.
I had the biggest crush on this "coach", and I will leave it at that thank you.
