1978 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"A cool 70's ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The master cylinder needed to be replaced.
The interior clock, you couldn't change the time on it.
Nothing else so far because we just got the car.
General comments?
This LeSabre is quite a good looking car and its very comfortable. The performance of this car isn't as good. It came with the big block 403, and yet still seems powerless. Maybe because that big block has to haul around a two-and-a-half tonne car! This car handles better than the Parisienne we used to have and it just cruises around the corners like its nothing. It is a nice car from my point of view because I like big cars, yet I don't thinks its really a head turner.
