1979 Buick LeSabre review from North America
"The design triumph of 1979"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission crapped out at 150,000 miles.
A/c doesn't work.
Rocker arms chatter.
General comments?
She is the beautiful goddess of the universe, bow before her and bask in her GM Neon Blue metallic glory. She floats down the highway like a blazen sunrise.
