1978 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"A comfortable big block Buick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Master cylinder.
Brakes (numerous times)
A/C not working.
Rusty in some places.
Transmission.
Dents and scratches in many places.
General comments?
The big block under the hood makes you forget that you in a two-and-a-half tonne boat. This Buick is a sleeper, looks slow, but isn't.
THE most comfortable car I've ever had a ride in. With almost every option, this car is as luxurious as it is fast.
