1976 Buick LeSabre Custom review from UK and Ireland
"A thirsty attention grabber, but in a Huggy Bear sort of way"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust (tail pipe) was not long enough to pass the U.K. motor test.
The switch for the electric aerial failed.
Dodgy trim around one of the rear quarter lights lets in rain water.
General comments?
Legally seats six in air conditioned luxury.
Has the turning circle of an aircraft carrier.
Not for the shy or retiring type or for anyone wishing to keep a low profile - especially in the U.K.
You have the attention of every motorway cop.
You soon get bored with polishing it - too much tin and chrome.
