1959 Buick LeSabre 4 Door Sedan

Now for sale is this 1959 LeSabre in well preserved condition. Repainted in its original color of Wedgewood Blue, the car has a lot of eye appeal. The paint quality is just fair, it looks pretty good from 20 feet but is far from show quality. There are some minor areas of paint flaking around the trim, as well as some areas on the roof and trunk lid where the paint is thin. It doesn’t seem to keep people from ooh-ing and ah-ing over the car though, when I was taking the pictures at least 10 different folks stopped along the way to take a closer look, no joke. GM products from this year have a certain cachet and this car is no exception.

The body on this LeSabre is very straight, panel alignment is good, you can tell it’s never been hit or bumped. All doors close with a perfect click. The car’s strongest point is the fidelity of its sheet metal. You’ll find no rust issues – no bubbling, no blistering, no problems.
Tires are Remington bias-plys, they’re old but still have good tread. All 4 hubcaps are original and in great shape.
The complex front grill is in excellent condition. The front bumper is very straight and the original chrome still looks pretty nice after 67 years.
The back bumper has a small dent and quite a bit of hazing. All lights and lenses on the car are in nice condition
The interior is pretty much a time warp back to 1959.
The unique ribbon speedometer on the 59’s were prone to failure, this one works perfectly.
All of the gauges work correctly, the ventilation sliders move freely, even the original radio works. Not really any glitches to track down; the lights, signals, fan, wipers and horn all work correctly.
Good original door panels and hardware. Windows all wind smoothly, all locks work.
Clean backseat, parcel shelf, and headliner.
The 364 Nailhead runs great with no smoke, it provides a good amount of power and has a nice balanced idle. The Dynaflow transmission has recently been serviced and operates with the smoothness that it’s known for.
Very solid undercarriage, still showing traces of the factory red oxide primer. The steel used in the perimeter frame alone could create a Hyundai or two.
