Buick Lesabre 1960

Buick Lesabre 1960

Coordinates 34.0885258,-118.3793269

Picture dated February 2011


The LeSabre name made its first appearance for Buick on the 1951 Le Sabre show car, which introduced aircraft-inspired design elements such as the wrap-around windshield and tail fins.

In 1959 LeSabre became the new designation for what had previously been known as the Buick Special. The Buick LeSabre was offered in a full line of body styles except between 1965-1969 when its station wagon variant was dropped from Buick's full-size offerings. For many years, the LeSabre carried the lowest base price in the Buick lineup.

The 1960 LeSabre received a minor facelift with a concave grille and horizontal headlights centered by Buick's then-new "Tri-Shield" logo, which is still in use today. Reintroduced to Electras and other Buicks for 1960 were the chrome "VentiPort" portholes first introduced in 1940 and last seen in 1957. LeSabre and Invicta models had three portholes while Electras and Electra 225s were "four-holers". At the back were "Delta-wing" fins along with round taillights. The appearance was shared with two other Buick models, the mid-level Invicta and the top model Electra.
